Distant Thunder FROM THE DIRECTOR FROM THE DIRECTOR Distant Thunder PAID Nonprofit WV 25443 Permit No.4 U.S. Postage U.S. Organization Shepherdstown Distant Thunder or more than 20 years, the George Tyler Moore Center The Fighting Men, Material Culture, Ffor the Study of the Civil War has hosted an annual sem- inar series that gives audiences an intimate view of the bat- And Contested Memories of tles, leaders, and soldiers of the American Civil War. We Gettysburg privilege the experience of our participants by immersing our audiences in 19th-century military history and creating memorable experiences. Focusing on experiential learning, we walk the contested terrain over which Union and Con- federate armies fought and consider the critical decisions enacted by key historical figures. This year’s Civil War and American Society Seminar will be held in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We have entwined the themes of memory, monuments, and materials to create a unique experience at a familiar, yet special, location. On Friday and Saturday mornings, we will consider how the actions on the battle’s first day were remembered and por- trayed over time by soldiers and officers alike by visiting McPherson’s Ridge, the railroad cut, and Seminary Ridge with Dennis E. Frye and Kevin Pawlak. Audiences will also go to the Seminary Ridge Museum and have an opportu- nity to see the battlefield from the famed cupola. On Friday afternoon, our group will take a personalized tour of the private property of Dean and Judy Shultz, which borders the “Lost Avenue.” On Saturday afternoon, Dana B. Shoaf, editor of Civil War Times, will lead a tour of the lines of the Third and Sixth Corps discussing the monuments erected by Union veterans. The seminar will culminate on Sunday morning with Wayne Motts, CEO of the National Civil War Museum, showcasing artifacts on the battlefield from the Civil War era. Our seminar focuses on a highly individualized experience in which participants have ample opportunities to interact with one another and our guest scholars. We promote an intimate environment and each seminar creates a commu- nity knitted together by a mutual passion of the 19th-cen- tury’s most critical period. We invite you to come and expe- rience a truly unique immersive weekend that features orig- Civil War and American Society inal, innovative programming and carefully chosen dining Seminar Series experiences.

  • Executive Reports (Officers & Deans)
    EXECUTIVE REPORTS (OFFICERS & DEANS) REPORT OF THE BISHOP It is time for congregations and rostered ministers to assemble as synod – an expression of the church that enriches the bond of our baptismal fellowship, extends our proclamation of the Gospel, and strengthens our service in the name of Jesus Christ. We assemble – Freed in Christ for a New Day – confident that God’s intention is to demonstrate faithfulness to God’s people and to call believers to respond with lives of thanks- giving, praise, and compassionate deeds for Jesus’ sake. Synod Assembly 2019 will not be simply one more meeting. It will be an occasion when the Triune God acts to fashion a more faithful, robust Lutheran witness in northeastern Pennsylvania. We assemble, therefore, with anticipation on June 1, 2019 in Hazleton as the Northeastern Pennsylvania Synod – Evangelical Luther- an Church in America. It will also mark the 50th Anniversary of the synod’s incorporation, which we will ob- serve during the assembly luncheon. Assembly 2019 is planned for one day, so there is limited time to carry out the reporting and business re- sponsibilities to come before us. Planners worked hard to create an agenda that allows for effective comple- tion of our tasks and for meaningful interaction and conversation. Prompted by cost savings afforded by a one-day assembly, assembly planners encourage congregations to apply the savings to costs for a 21/2-day assembly in 2020, when sufficient time is needed to elect a new synod bishop. I continue to rejoice over the ministry exercised by pastors and deacons of this synod.

    Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ~ Presents~ A Symposium – Living Our Faith Through Action A Conversation on Race, Gender, & Equity Monday, April 26, 2021 10am Welcome from the President of United Lutheran Seminary The Rev. Dr. R. Guy Erwin I want to welcome you, on behalf of United Lutheran Seminary, to this symposium conversation! We are glad to have you with us, and hope that you will find this time to be educational, inspiring, and edifying. Our panelists come from a variety of backgrounds, but all share—as ULS does—a deep commitment to raising understanding around questions of diversity and inclusion in religious communities and agencies and seminaries like ours. The pressing need for dialogue and constructive conversation, based in the idea that to listen well is to learn deeply, has never been more urgent in our country than it is right now. Christians and Americans of good will need, I believe, to find ways to stand together, language they can use in common to describe the realities around us, and the mutual respect that will allow us to grow closer in our commitments. I hope today’s conversation contributes richly to that goal, at least in our own circles and networks. Wherever you are, and however you are joining us today, know that you are heartily welcome here as a sibling and a neighbor, as we all think together about how to translate our faith in God’s mercy and grace into true care for the well-being of our neighbor, especially those different from ourselves. May God bless our time together and may the joy of Easter remain in your heart! In Christ, The Rev.
