Lutheran Seminaries Hols "The Hein-Fry Lecture Series"
CHICAGO -- The eight seminaries of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) will host the 2004 Hein-Fry Lecture Series,"Evangelism Today: Lutheran Theology and Practice," to further examine how the gospel can be proclaimed outside of church.
The Hein-Fry Lecture Series is coordinated by the ELCA Division for Ministry in cooperation with the eight seminaries to foster original scholarship and enrich theological dialogue throughout the church.
The Rev. Edgar M. Krentz, a retired professor of New Testament, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, and the Rev. David L. Tiede, president and professor of Lutheran Seminary at St. Paul, Minn., will each present lectures at four of the seminaries over the next
three months.
