  • Auxiliary Reports
    AUXILIARY REPORTS Lutheran Youth Organization Submitted by Dmitri Krieger, CSIS LYO President Greetings on behalf of the C/SIS Lutheran Youth Organization (LYO). The LYO Board and Planning Committee have been very busy and actively planning for and participating in synod youth events in 2011-2012. Jr. and Sr. High youth from all C/SIS congregations are invited to participate in the two C/SIS LYO events: at Rend Lake Resort in February, and Lake Williamson Retreat Center near Carlinville in November. Our annual gathering at Carlinville was November 18-20, 2011; music was led by Dakota Road and keynoting by Pastor Sue Beadle. We engaged the theme “King Me” (Matthew 25) and learned to treat others as we would Jesus. In July 2011 many of the youth (8th Grade and up) from our synod attended Leadership Lab at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL. Leadership Lab is a ministry of the three Illinois synods that develops youth and young adult leadership and faith growth in the church. The theme at this event was “God’s Top Ten,” based on the Ten Commandments and the Great Commandment. The C/SIS LYO Board and Planning Committee held two planning retreats. One of the planning retreats is in January (2011 and 2012) at Atonement Lutheran Church in Springfield, and the other in August is near Ava (also 2011 and 2012). Board members are elected as three officers and six C/SIS Conference Representatives (plus four at-large positions) to two-year terms at the Carlinville youth gathering. Planning Committee applications are voted upon by the Board members, with five Planning Committee members from each of the six C/SIS Conferences eligible to serve at a time.

    Lutherans Say. No. 6 The Religious Beliefs and Practices of Lutheran Lay Leaders in the ELCA Kenneth W. Inskeep Research and Evaluation Evangelical Lutheran Church in America February 3, 2009 For a summary of the results, see page 30. Background of the Survey Lutherans Say. No. 6 (LS6) was first mailed in June, 2008, to a sample of 1,563 people from the mailing list of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s (ELCA) Seeds for the Parish. Seeds for the Parish is a congregational resource newspaper produced by the ELCA’s churchwide office and is mailed six times a year to congregational leaders.1 The initial mailing was followed by a postcard reminder and then, several weeks later, those who had not responded received a second copy of the questionnaire. By October 31, 841 people had completed usable questionnaires for a response rate of 54 percent. The primary purpose of LS6 was to gather data that will provide Research and Evaluation with baselines by which the work of the ELCA’s churchwide organization can be evaluated. The churchwide organization has set two priorities within its plan for mission.2 The first priority is “to work collaboratively with congregations, synods, agencies and institutions and other partners, to accompany congregations as growing centers for evangelical mission.” In support of this priority, the churchwide unit Evangelical Outreach and Congregational Mission will give considerable attention to the collective faith practices of discipleship in congregations over the next few years. To set a baseline for evaluating this work, LS6 included a series of questions on the current faith practices of leaders.

    Copyright by Darrin Mark Hanson 2009 The Dissertation Committee for Darrin Mark Hanson Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: American Civil Religion: Continuity and Change Committee: J. Budziszewski, Supervisor Bruce Buchanan Gretchen Ritter Eric McDaniel Bob Woodberry American Civil Religion: Continuity and Change by Darrin Mark Hanson, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin December 2009 Acknowledgements This project started rummaging through my disorganized mind during informal political discussions with my colleagues in the philosophy graduate program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I hope this dissertation answers some of their questions about all the “god talk”. I owe them a debt of gratitude for forcing me to think about these issues and Robert Audi for taking the time from his extensive writing to provide a young graduate student some guidance about what direction to take his new interest. Nearly every chapter of this book has been presented in earlier forms at the annual meetings for the American Political Science Association, the Southern Political Science Association, or the Western Political Science Association. The comments and discussions at each conference have helped me to better craft my arguments and descriptions. A special thanks goes to Calvin College’s Biennial Conference on Religion and Politics where the informal discussions with others who study the interplay of religion and politics provided a great deal of new insight into different perspectives from which I could look at my broader question.
