  • Chicago Voter League of Women Voters of Chicago, 332 S Michigan, Suite 634 August 2017 Website - Vol
    The Chicago Voter League of Women Voters of Chicago, 332 S Michigan, Suite 634 August 2017 Website - www.LWVChicago.org Vol. 68 No. 2 President’s Message Dear Members, We just completed our board planning meeting for 2017-2018, and we have a lot of great ideas. We’re looking forward to a year with more units in more neighborhoods, a great schedule for Chicago in Focus and monthly briefings, and a task force working on the March 2018 primary election. See the schedules for Briefings and Chicago in Focus on pages 2 and 3 in this Chicago Voter. It’s all very exciting – and a lot of hard work, a little intimidating some days. Still, we’re up for that! One of the interesting aspects of being part of such an established organization is how the mode of the League changes from time to time. Sometimes, our role is to study. Other times, it is to take action. No matter what, we stick to our basic principles: we are non-partisan, we influence public policy through both education and advocacy, and we encourage active and informed citizen participation in government. The tactics may change, but the mission remains the same. And that brings me to one important note: things may change! Last summer, the board put together a great plan that was upended by the results of the 2016 presidential election. We now have many new and enthusiastic members, added programs in Chicago in Focus to look specifically at the election, and looked for new ways to make our voice heard.

  • C:\WW Manuscripts\Back Issues\11-3 Lutheranism\11
    Word & World 11/3 (1991) Copyright © 1991 by Word & World, Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN. All rights reserved. page 276 A North American Perspective TODD W. NICHOL Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota Thirty years ago, historian Winthrop Hudson called Lutheranism the last, best hope of Protestantism in the United States. Insularity, Hudson said in his widely read study American Protestantism, had protected Lutherans from the theological disintegration and lack of connection to historical tradition he thought characteristic of most other American Protestants. As Hudson saw it, a history of more or less intentional parochialism had given Lutherans specific advantages that could put them in the vanguard of a Protestant renewal in the United States: the effect of impending mergers, rising membership, a confessional tradition, liturgical practice, and a sense of community based in part on sociological factors.1 A generation later, however, it appears that Hudson missed his guess. In the last three decades, questions regarding merger and membership, theology and worship, and the contours of community have troubled and sometimes divided American Lutherans. That these things matter to some Lutherans is, of course, evidence that Winthrop Hudson’s optimistic assessment of Lutheranism in the United States was not entirely without basis. Yet few knowledgeable Lutherans in 1991 would be prepared to claim that their churches have taken the leading role in a renewal of Protestantism in North America or that they are now in a position to do so. American Lutheranism is now more difficult to assess than even so distinguished an historian of American religion as Winthrop Hudson was able to predict thirty years ago.
