I have just re-read “Nurturing Tomorrow’s Church Musicians” in the March Lutheran Witness, and I had to write and thank you for a wonderful tribute to the Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival. It was especially nice connecting names and faces of young people experiencing what must be a life-changing time for them. The entire

I am writing in response to the April online letter, “Helping Church Workers.” I agree that the cost of seminary training and the debt accrued from four years of schooling is a hardship for many new pastors entering the ministry.

This letter is a response to “Party Time?” in the Family Counselor section of the April Lutheran Witness. The answer to the son should have been an emphatic NO in large print. Just to be sure I was rational in my thinking, I called the local police department and also the local Alcohol Information Center

Cindy Newkirk found a way to combine her callings in the vineyard and in the Scriptures.

Thank you for your April focus on the colleges and universities of the Concordia University System, “What’s New at Our Concordias?” However, some of the programs offered at Concordia University Texas were not mentioned. This academic year, Concordia University Texas began offering pre-nursing courses with acceptance of junior-level students to the professional nursing courses of

A Lutheran pastor’s Civil War diaries spotlight an “amazing story” and an enduring ministry.

Thank you so very much for the informative and inspiring article about Bethlehem in the February Lutheran Witness. My husband took a vacation/tour to Israel some 16 years ago, and [we] are hoping to enrich our grandchildren’s lives with a visit in the near future, but [we] were surprised to read of all of the
