The Luther
Institute's programs provide opportunities for lay people and
clergy to hear from experts and thoughtful commentators on a variety
of issues and themes. Issues that bring ethics, public policy,
church and society together in the fields of international relations,
domestic affairs, aesthetics, science and technology, and the
media are most often the content of the Luther Institute's programs.
As a non-partisan educational organization that is not engaged
in lobbying efforts, the Luther Institute invites speakers from
across the political spectrum and from other denominations and
faiths with the goal of encouraging a productive exchange of ideas.

About
PAS
Public Affairs
Seminars (PAS) are policy and issue education programs of the
Luther Institute. On average, twelve to fifteen PAS programs are
offered each year from various venues across the Washington, DC
metropolitan area.
PAS programs
highlight major issues of concern relating to international affairs,
domestic policy issues of current importance, themes of ongoing
church and state interest, developments in science, technology or
the media, as well as programs devoted more towards aesthetics.
For a current list of these events, go to the calendar.
For a view of past events, please go the archives,
where you may seek past programs by thematic subject, date, or speaker's
name.
Contact
the Luther Institute for additional information or to pass along
your suggestions for future programs.
About
Distance Learning
The Luther
Institute's programs are traditionally held in the metropolitan
Washington, DC area, and have been designed for regional audiences.
But information technology has ushered in a new era and another
way of defining "the public square" in American and
Lutheran life.
Through current grants from Thrivent and from the Zimmer Family Foundation, the Luther Institute has begun to
use communication and distance-learning technology to expand its
audiences and provide its programs to Lutheran institutions of
higher education, congregations, social ministry, and other learning
agencies. TLI has become a partner institution in the ELCA's Life
Long Learning Partners network, with several local congregations
engaged in distance education (Christ
Lutheran Church and Reformation
Lutheran Church), and has developed a production relationship
with Concordia University Educational Network (CUEnet).
Live participatory
teleconferencing brings national and global partners together to
interact directly in Luther Institute programs. Streamed web-casting,
either delayed or live, provides TLI programs anywhere in the world
using CUENET technology and our web-casting address of www.videowebcast.org/lutherinstitute.
Contact TLI for further information
about distance learning opportunities for individuals or organizations.
About
the Lutheran Study Center
The Luther
Institute through its Lutheran Study Center provides grants to
professors and teachers from Lutheran colleges and universities,
and the church's high schools. The grants assist faculty members
in advancing research projects as well as the Lutheran character
of their institutions. The grants are competitive and based upon
merit and subject interest.
Fellows accomplish
their projects in the academic year of their award. College professors
are brought to Washington for research and the presentation of
their results, providing Washington-based audiences access to
Lutheran scholarship outside of the Washington area. High school
teachers opt for either a Washington-based study experience or
a program in Wittenberg, Germany, that augments their teaching
and aids in the mission of their schools.
For further
information of either program, contact
The Luther Institute.
Wittenberg
Awards
The annual
Wittenberg awards
acknowledge and celebrate lives of service to church and society.
For further information, contact
The LutherInstitute.

Institute engages in selective projects other than Public Affairs
Seminars, distance learning, the Lutheran Study Center, and the

About
Partnerships
The Luther
Institute engages most of its work with other partner organizations.
