It started back on April 16th with the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod and ends July 12 with the Slovak Zion Synod (the Slovak Zion Synod is mission based rather than geographically based).

		<description><![CDATA[SoulPancake encourages its community to ask and answer hard questions about life, faith, God, spirituality and our world. The recent earthquake in Haiti prompted Rainn Wilson to ask how people of faith reconcile God, suffering and prayer. Before I answer, this post tells describes why I like SoulPancake and the questions it challenges us to think about and answer and why Rainn's question is something we should all be able to answer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week was about the third most important week in the church, if you're Lutheran. At the top of the list are Christmas and Easter. Last week was number three: Reformation week. It isn't too difficult to see why it's such an appealing week for Lutherans to celebrate. We're named after the reformer after all.

Unfortunately we don't seem to have much of the spirit of ol' uncle Marty. For the last fifteen years I've heard sermons about the importance of congregations having a reformation attitude, but see (and hear about) congregations that struggle to change the smallest things. I hear reasons ranging from the importance of not pushing away the people already in the church to the importance of tradition.]]></description>
