Lutheran Campus Ministry Trip to Nicaragua Pr. Rob Dotzel, University of Iowa Campus Ministry Campus Pastor  | | Lutheran Campus Ministry with women of La Conquista who created and maintain a local farm cooperative. |
We all came back changed by this experience. None of us, a delegation from the University of Iowa Lutheran Campus Ministry, will ever again take for granted things like potable water, inside toilets, good roads, and affordable clothing. Hopefully, we will be more mindful of where our food and commodities come from and use our influence as enlightened consumers to advocate for the rights and well-being of those who produce them.

Synod Assembly Resolutions
Pr. Eric Carlson, Assistant to the Bishop
One avenue of access for congregations, conferences, synod organizational units and voting members to address issues and propose a plan for action is through a resolution. Resolutions help organize the work of the assembly by clarifying important issues or concerns. Resolutions may be submitted until 45 days prior to the first day the assembly meets. For the 2012 Synod Assembly, resolutions must be in the synod office by Tuesday, April 17, 2012. For more information as to writing a resolution, click here.
