Lutheran Witness: October 2008

As with last month, we are overflowing with feature stories, beginning with our Reformation cover story by Dr. Robert A. Kolb and Dr. Charles P. Arand. Also in this issue: Roland Lovstad looks at the new face of missions, Paula Schlueter Ross celebrates the work of Lutheran Blind Mission, and Kim Plummer Krull profiles Grace Place Lutheran Retreats and catches up with staff and students at Concordia University Wisconsin, who helped engineer a successful training camp for an NFL team. Finally, Dr. Uwe Siemon-Netto reflects on the role of Christians as “voter-priests” in this election year. We hope you enjoy this issue and find it informative and helpful.
