Description

“The Lutheran church in Ethiopia is just under three times larger than all the Lutheran church bodies in America combined,” said Dr. Samuel Deressa, Associate Professor of Theology and the Global South at Concordia University, St. Paul. “We can learn from each other to address and apply Lutheran theology in different contexts,” said Deressa. He asked, “How can we embrace this diversity and move towards a multicultural and multiethnic kind of church?” Join Deressa and Dr. Leo Sánchez, Professor of Systematic Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, in a conversation about Lutheranism in the Global South.
