Lutheran Association of Christian Educators
The Lutheran Association of Christian Educators (LACE) continues to gain momentum and actively striving to become an organization of and for all educators in the ELCA. Through grassroots efforts and with the help of the ELCA’s Christian Education group, a planning team was formed in October 2001. This team worked diligently to form an organization for all Christian Educators in the ELCA. While LACE is a separately incorporated organization, the association works closely with ELCA affiliates.

The Joseph Sittler Archives

The Human is Created for Transcendence.... This phrase from Gravity and Grace exemplifies the man who wrote it, Joseph Sittler. But such a statement cannot begin to capture the transcendent humanity of this man. He delighted in Polish sausage and beer and saw theological significance in the most ordinary activities of common folk in everyday life. This website celebrates the life and work of a contemporary Lutheran theologian whose influence is unparalleled. We welcome you to explore this site of work, image, and sound.
