Currents in Theology and Mission

The latest edition of the on-line journal of the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and Wartburg Theological Seminary  includes proceedings from our IRCA conference in 2023 with the theme, “Flourishing: Land, People, Community.”

The word flourishing was chosen with intention both as encouragement to seek out and celebrate rural realities that are flourishing, but also as aspirational to encourage work toward God’s intent for the flourishing of all God’s land and people. The issue includes the Bible study, keynote address, and a collection of articles that give snapshots of the state of rural and small-town contexts globally.
