Title: THE LUTHERAN'S LEADERSHIP PROGRAM THE LUTHERAN'S LEADERSHIP PROGRAM The 11,000 congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America have a new way to get the church's magazine, The Lutheran, into the hands of their lay leaders. Augsburg Fortress, publishing house of the ELCA, announced March 1 that the Leadership Program would allow congregations to identify about 25 people -- church staff, council members, committee chairs and other key leaders who "make things happen" in the church -- to receive the monthly magazine at their homes for $9.50 per year or 20 percent off the regular subscription rate. James Huber, manager of Augsburg Fortress editorial and circulation services, said The Lutheran developed the subscription program based on suggestions from congregations to provide lay leaders with resources that assist them in their ministry.
