September 11, 2002 Anniversary Service

In response to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia recognizes that we are a nation in grief. Our collective community of alums and congregational leaders is called to help our brothers and sisters to work through the grieving process and to receive the healing mercy of God's love.

This section includes information on our core event, a September 18 seminar on response to tragedy, as well as selected faculty sermons, messages from the worldwide Lutheran community, and online resources.
