This ELCA seminary section’s goal is to prepare leaders for the ELCA who will offer care-for-creation leadership in ELCA congregations and other institutions and in their communities and the larger world.
We seek to:
- Provide eco-resources and ideas for the full life and mission of seminaries.
- Sponsor an LRC Seminary Networking group.
- Offer news, highlights, and stories of seminary events and developments.
- Link with other like-minded groups.
Please join us as partners to help to make this happen! And, keep checking back below as we are currently adding to this list.
