Jan. 17 was a sobering and inspiring day of learning from MLK and Bonhoeffer to resist hate and authoritarianism and to build the beloved community. The event, a partnership of LAMPa, United Lutheran Seminary and Gettysburg College, featured internationally recognized scholars Dr. Stephen Haynes and Dr. Reggie Williams.

For those who were able to gather in spite of the weather, thank you for the conversation and shared encouragement! For those who were unable to make it, we missed you and hope we see you soon. (Mark your calendars for Lutheran Day in the Capitol, LAMPa’s annual day of learning and advocacy, on April 20. Details and registration coming soon!) We hope you will find this recording of Saturday’s event useful for your own discernment and for informing communal discernment in your context. While we are delighted to offer this resource as a gift to you, events like this require significant time, funding, and effort to make possible. We invite you to support LAMPa with a donation so we can continue providing meaningful programs like this in the future. You can find out more about donating here.
