Admissions Directors' Annual Meeting, Update

We just finished the Annual Meeting of the ELCA Seminary Admissions Directors. The location of the meeting rotates from seminary to seminary and this year it is being held at Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, in Gettysburg, PA of all things. Whose claim to fame, by the way, is that more people have died on the campus of this seminary then any other ELCA seminary (probably ANY seminary for that matter, let’s hope). For those of you who are a little concerned at the moment and have just temporary forgotten your American history, a major Civil War battle (more men died here than in any other battle fought in North America) was fought in Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863) and the seminary sits on a portion of that field. Anyway, we finished the meeting and tonight we had dinner with 10 wonderful students from Susquehanna University who are considering their vocations to various things.
