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.

Dr. Meilaender summarizes: “Learning from Christian tradition how to think about ourselves as sexual beings, we can better understand the distortions of our culture.”

One of the nation’s preeminent bioethicists, Professor Meilaender has written extensively on the body, human identity, and the meaning of emerging technologies.
