Denominational Group Meetings  37

Lutheran 
Submitted by Evan Boyd, Convener

MEETING MINUTES
The Lutheran Denominational Meeting met during the ATLA annual 
conference, discussed its purpose, and gave updates on each other’s 
campus transitions. 

The membership agreed that the Lutheran Denominational Group 
is a group composed of individuals serving Lutheran institutions  
or that have an interest in Lutheran higher education. The group  
meets annually to offer an opportunity for its members to update one 
another about what our institutions have been working on and hope 
to accomplish in the future. 

It was further agreed that the main goal of the group is to collabo-
rate and create connections with each other for professional devel-
opment. The group will have a Convener, chosen by the group, whose  
main responsibility is to convene the group, publish the minutes, and 
maintain the listserv. Evan Boyd, United Lutheran Seminary, was 
elected as Convener for the 2018-2019 year.

After a brief discussion of a need for a new web presence for the 
group, member representatives updated the group on happenings at 
their individual institutions.
