Lutheran Volunteer Corps (LVC)

Karl Anliker, a senior MDiv student, represents LSTC next week in the annual Hein-Fry Book of Challenge (HRBFC). His presentation is Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 2:30 p.m. CST.

Each year, one student from each ELCA-affiliated seminary is invited to create a class, encounter, or series for people who are both steeped in biblical texts as well as those unfamiliar with them, and report their findings.

This year four students give their presentations online. Susan Briehl, Spokane, Wash., is online host and moderator of a panel of academic and church leaders who will interact with the students.

Karl conducted his four-session Bible study focusing on women of the Bible via Zoom while on internship at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Hinsdale, Ill. He said the study was inspired by Professors Linda Thomas and Esther Menn and their teaching in the Women in Genesis class. “In that class we wrote blessings for the women of Genesis, a practice I directly adopted in this congregational study,” he said.

Karl, who grew up near Indianapolis, said his call to ministry was formed by outdoor camp experiences and a Lutheran Volunteer Corps (LVC) position with All Peoples Church in Milwaukee, Wis.

“It was under the beautiful night sky at summer camp and at protests and revivals with All Peoples Church that I experienced the call to serve the church,” he said. “While studying at LSTC, I joined my passion for ministry with a passion for community organizing, uncovering our shared stories and building the better world we all need, together.”
