Lutherans Engage – Winter 2021

Winter 2021

Cross and Resurrection Lutheran Church, the Chapel at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, Mich., overlooks a cluster of on-campus residence halls.

The stories in this issue of Lutherans Engage the World span cultures, ages and experiences. What they all have in common is the people of God gathered together around Word and Sacrament, mercifully caring for each other. The light of Christ and the warmth of His love, shone and shared by the communion of saints in all these places, burns brightly in this dark world.
