ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, Berkeley, Calif., and Dr.
Jean Bethke Elshtain, a Lutheran professor of social and political ethics
at the University of Chicago, will each identify three critical issues

responses to them.

Seminary, Columbia, S.C. and will continue Feb. 12 at the Lutheran
Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Pa.; Feb. 17-18 at Luther Seminary, St.
Paul, Minn.; and Feb. 26-27 at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary.
