    So That All May Flourish: The Aims of Lutheran Higher Education

     

    Lutheran Center Director Deanna Thompson ’89, Professor of Music Anton Armstrong ’78, and Associate Professor of Religion Anthony Bateza each wrote a chapter in So That All May Flourish: The Aims of Lutheran Higher Education. The book provides a substantive and accessible introduction to the vocation, educational priorities, and theological foundations of Lutheran Higher Education (LHE) and the Network of ELCA Colleges and Universities (NECU). Intended as a “primer,” the book seeks to cultivate knowledge of LHE and NECU that is appreciative, critical, and constructive.

    The Lutheran Center will be partnering with other offices, departments and centers on campus to host flourishing for all events throughout the year. Look for more information here and in campus newsletters.
