In January 2009 Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary offers a cross-cultural immersion in Israel and Palestine. In addition to the biblical sites all the way from Mount Hermon in the north to the Red Sea in the south, we shall meet with Dr. Mitri Raheb of the Lutheran church in Bethlehem, staff of Augusta Victoria Hospital, the pastors of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Jerusalem, Archbishop Abuna Elias Chacour in the Galilee, as well as Druze villagers in the Golan Heights, Jewish settlers, and kibbutzniks.
Seminarians who take the course for cross-cultural credit apply to the Contextual Education department to receive their $600 scholarship which they mail to the Jerusalem Center for Biblical Studies. Three hours academic credit is also possible at the M.A.R., M.Div., S.T.M., and D.Min. levels. Contact Dr. Luker for details, LLuker@mac.com or (803) 787-0864.
Pastors and lay professionals are encouraged to join us for continuing education credit, and lay persons from all walks of life always enrich the dialog that takes place on these study tours.
