YIM: Serving Christ in the World

Serving Christ in the World

Serving Christ in the World is a three-week program from June 13 through July 3, 2010. More than a week will be spent on the campus of the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, one week will be spent at the Lutheran Center in Mexico City, and three days will be spent immersed in immigrant communities. The international component provides an opportunity to experience the broader context of sharing our faith in a global context. The program in general will challenge youth to consider issues of pluralism, race, gender and poverty through the lens of their Christian values and faith.

Faculty, seminarians, and rostered and lay leaders will introduce program goals and themes. The participants will explore the issues of diversity and multiculturalism, ecumenism and interfaith perspectives, and wealth and poverty in relationship with our understanding of what it means to Serve Christ in the World.

Serving Christ in the World is a unique chance to learn more about God, yourself and people of other cultures as you ask the question of how you are called to serve Christ in the world. You are invited to join us in this life-changing experience.
