LDRCC Picks LARRI
The Lutheran Disaster Response Collegiate Corps has made arrangements
to deploy, over the Spring break, to NW indiana to assist with on-going
flood recovery operations. LDRCC has 20 slots reserved. If

International Opportunities
The Global Missions Program Unit of the ELCA has announced the latest
opportunities for global mission posts. Some positions come with
stipends and insurance. Others are more volunteer in
orientation. Often, student loans can be deferred. To check
out the possiblities, visit
http://www.ELCA.org/globalserve.
Chaplain to Head Study
The West Virginia-Western Maryland Synod Council has appointed Chap.
Riegel to head a study on the structures of the ELCA and alternatives
to them. At its November retreat, the synod council discussed
Riegel's synod assembly resolution "to memorialize the churchwide
assembly to initiate a process for the orderly and amicable dissolution
of the ELCA into multiple judicatories." While that resolution
failed, garnering only 25% of the vote at the June 2009 WV-WMD Synod
Assembly, some voices on the synod council complained that the question
was called too soon during debate and that the landscape of the ELCA
has changed enough since then to warrant reexamination of the question.
HSC Luncheon Update
HSC Luncheon is an
opportunity to gather informally for lunch in the HSC Cafeteria.
We meet Thursdays at 12:00 noon in the HSC
Cafeteria.
Look for us at a table in the far corner from the
entrance. These luncheons are open to faculty, staff,
students, and anyone else that happens to be at the HSC.

prayer." For more information about St. Augustine's House, visit
