Rev. Dr. Gilbert Meilaender
As part of the Hearts and Re-Creation series, our sister congregation, St. John’s Lutheran Church in Algoma, WI, will be hosting a special presentation from Rev. Dr. Gilbert Meilaender.

We live in an age of Tinder, Bruce Jenner, same-sex marriage, and hook-ups. Not to mention older challenges: divorce, cohabitation, and pornography. How has God’s re-creation of us in His image called us to a mind and life distinct in this world? The Hearts and Re-creation series will provide guidance through sermons, Bible studies, and a special presentation from renowned bioethicist Gilbert Meilaender.
