As college classmates, Bishop Hicks and the reporter [Rich Stewart] have known each other for over 50 years.  Talking about and to the church is nothing new for either of us, but it is good to have reflections that are not your own and experiences that different than the path of the reporter.

The Rev. Dr. Thomas Minor, Pastor, Campus Pastor, Army and Air Force Chaplain now retired. A Chicagoan who became a Texan and Chaplain in Houston.

The Rev. Dr. Craig Lewis was recruited to be a leader. His education toward the law was interrupted by encounters with Krister Stendahl and Vernon Carter. He has served the church from a small mission start in Cleveland, Ohio, to agencies, to staff in the LCA, to community development in the banking industry, to Pastor of Central Lutheran in Minneapolis. He is retired in Florida.

With the closing of the Office of Multicultural Affairs at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, Dr. Stewart reflects on her own intellectual endeavors and her path to a PhD in Old Testament, and campus ministry and teaching in the Chicago educational complex.
