Lutheran Center Spring Symposium: Luther’s Legacy of Anti-Judaism and Contemporary Jewish-Lutheran Relations
Featuring presenters Rabbi Dr. Ryan Dulkin, Visiting Assistant Professor of Religion at St. Olaf, and Kathryn Lohre ‘99, Executive for Ecumenical and Inter-Religious Relations & Theological Discernment for the ELCA, the symposium will delve into will address the impacts of Martin Luther’s anti-Judaism and explore contemporary Jewish-Lutheran relations. In 1543, Martin Luther published “On the Jews and Their Lies,” an anti-Jewish diatribe filled with hateful and violent language towards Jewish people. As a college affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and “nourished by Lutheran tradition,” it is important that St. Olaf names Luther’s anti-Judaism and participates in repairing his legacy of harm against Jewish people.
