Fast Facts - 4 percent of U.S. households experience hunger.
Before the more than 2,100 women leave for the Seventh Women of the ELCA Triennial Gathering July 10-13 in Salt Lake City, include the "sending" prayer in your Sunday worship and ask your pastor to include prayer during the gathering at your congregation's events. Suggested prayers are in the June issue of Interchange.
 Wanted: More military chaplains: Leaders hope for growth in numbers of ELCA pastors on active military duty. (right)
On course: Mini-golf scores as green learning center.
It really is the perfect prayer: With Jesus' words, 'Our Father ... your will be done,' I say all that's needed.
Through Emma's eyes : We glimpse a glorious world.
Also: Connecting the dots.
Also: Lutherans, Methodists.
Also: Family of graduates.
.jpg) Terrence Rynne - Nonviolence as A Way of Life Matthew 5:38-44 If anything takes our breath away in this world full of events we cannot control, it is violence. Nothing cuts to the core of our peace of mind and joy for life like violence. So what can we learn from Jesus that might direct us to a better way? And what about the place of Gandhi's life and teachings? Terry Rynne, founder of the Marquette University Center for Peacemaking, has studied Gandhi for a long time. He walks us into the difference between active and passive nonviolence.
