Wondering Out Loud - Isaiah 9:6 - Hezekiah or Jesus?
Each Bus Must Have 10 Passengers, or Else!

Theresa is a Presbyterian-Lutheran who was president of the soi-disant United Lutheran Seminary for several weeks.


Event listing from Mount Olivet Lutheran Church: Tuesday, November 30 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM

“For a child has been born for us, a son given to us authority rests upon his shoulders and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” —Isaiah 9:6 This verse from the prophet Isaiah has inspired Christians for millennia and shaped our celebration of Christmas thanks to George Frideric Handel’s Messiah. Join Pastor Dixon, Pastor Ruud, and Mount Olivet Conference & Retreat Center Director, Rev. Theresa Latini, in studying the many meanings of this beautiful text. Together we will begin our Advent journey by exploring questions like these: What child is this (Hezekiah or Jesus or both)? What does it matter that God came to us as a child? How does this child lead God’s people, including us, out of darkness and into the light? Cost is $20 for lunch and program. Register at mtolivet.org by Monday, November 29. Bus transportation is available for $10 from West (8:45am), 7500 York (8:45am) and Mpls Campus (9:15am). Please note that a minimum of 10 people is required for each of the buses. Therefore, bus reservations are due 72 hours in advance. If bus service has to be cancelled, there will be a 48-hour notice given. [GJ - Mt. O. once had 10,000 members. United Lutheran is where the cross was broken and hanging from the steeple after the 2009 vote.]

Professor, no, Pastor, no, Bishop, no, President Guy Erwin was rapidly promoted to become a bishop and the next President of United (sic, merged) Lutheran Seminary.




 Meghan Rohrer followed Erwin as ELCA's San Francisco bishop. He attended Augustana College, ELCA, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
