Pastor Kettering added:

"The wooden structure is the handbuilt ark that holds the Sacred Scroll of Pardes Levavot. We began our relationship with them in 2003/2004. We work together hosting service events to address community needs, including the Boulder Community Infant Program and the Little Free Pantry which was placed in our parking lot at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020.

We pray together, eat together, and worship together. A few weeks ago, Rabbi Victor worshiped with us and shared wisdom on the writings of the Prophet Amos. (It's amazing to have two true, trained, experienced Hebrew scholars within our faith relationships.) I followed his teaching with one on the Gospel of John.

At the beginning of my call to pastoral leadership with Shepherd in 2016, the Ark sat out of sight in a back corner of the Sanctuary and was brought forward for Pardes' worship. Likewise, our Cross sat front and center behind the altar and was moved out of sight during their worship. As Rabbis Victor and Nadya and I deepened our relationship, we made a collective decision to keep both the Ark and the Cross front and center, day in and day out, within both their times of worship and ours. It truly reflects the love and respect we hold for each other, our unique traditions, and the connectedness that calls us to faith and service together.

We feel tremendously blessed to be among the few ELCA congregations who engage in the everyday work of deep ecumenism with our faith partners at Pardes Levavot Jewish Renewal Congregation. Together, we strive to nourish bodies and spirits, bringing God's love to those we encounter, with absolute inclusivity.

Blessings & Advent Peace,

Pastor Janet Kettering"

The next one will start in America in the 1800s when a lot of Lutheran immigration occurs. The last will cover the last 75 or 100 years.

Rev Dr Mark Granquist is a professor of the History of Christianity at Luther Seminary in St Paul, MN. He was ordained into the ELCA in 1988 and has served congregations and taught in university settings. His book Lutherans in America: A New History is a definitive work, sharing his understanding of how immigration gave direction to how Lutheranism would flourish in the Americas.

Where did Martin Luther go into hiding during the height of the German Reformation?

TLDR: The ELCA is trying to reorganize the denomination structure through our constitutions (Churchwide, Synods, and Congregations) and other documents, with the hope that we can be better prepared for our ministry going forward.
