Only 11 Seminaries Partner with ELCA's Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago

 Brutalism is a style of architecture. 
LSTC was built by a bridge making firm. 

The Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago (LSTC) is a community to form leaders to form community.

We believe that our communities cannot be restored without leaders who are able to nurture the gifts of those who gather, organize them for shared purpose, and guide them in a sustained vision. Such leaders do not happen automatically but must be formed in communities that model faithful living in all of its complexity and promise.

 Passavant bought the land that became the first Chicago Lutheran campus. They sold it and the ground became Wrigley Field, which is why the Cubs Stadium is considered sacred ground. 

"With our exceptional faculty, creative and innovative students, partnerships with 11 denominational seminaries, and our setting in the vibrant city of Chicago, LSTC equips public leaders for our church and world today.

Our Public Church curriculum has been recognized as one of the most innovative among North American seminaries. Three on-campus Centers reflect our longstanding commitments to interfaith relations, multiculturalism, and the dialogue between religion and science."
