[MN] Why We Hurt: A Retreat on November 18th

[Rev. Todd A. Peperkorn]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Why We Hurt
A Retreat on Suffering and the Cross in the Life of Christ

and in the Lives of Christians


With Rev. Scott Stiegemeyer

Director of Admission

Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana



 From time immemorial, human beings have questioned why they suffer.   
One popular book put it recently, Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good  
People?  This seminar will examine the biblical approach to this  
question.  It will also explore whether God has a plan for us when we  
suffer?  Does suffering have a purpose?  What are the causes or  
sources of human suffering?  And perhaps most importantly, where can  
we find help, safety and comfort when we undergo hard experiences?   
We will discover the significance of our sorrows specifically in the  
light of the God who suffers on the cross.

"The sect cannot wait; it must have everything at once, for it has no
future. The church can wait, for it does have a future. We Lutherans  
should
think of that" (The Lonely Way, Volume II, 328).
