		<description><![CDATA[When I went to seminary many years ago we had classes in systematic, historical, and exegetical theology. We even had some classes in “practical” theology (hmm&#8230; does that mean the others were “impractical” theology??? Just kidding&#8230;).   Practical theology was generally considered the poor stepchild of our education. Yet even there we  didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

The child’s comments may have been echoed by the frustrated disciples in John 21:1-14, NRSV. The resurrected Christ stood on a beach and called [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many churches don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re supposed to be doing. Some others have strayed, choosing maintenance over mission. I think that churches, have a tendency to so stray unless they work extra hard to stay focused on the mission.
To fight against these tendencies we need to keep this simple, yet profound, question ever before us: [...]]]></description>

Pilgrim Lutheran Church is ultimately not a building or place. The Church is people. It is the type of people we are that makes us unique.
As Lutheran Christians we believe we’re sinners who are saved by grace through faith. Since we’ve been redeemed, restored, and forgiven we then become [...]]]></description>

A scull is a light racing boat powered by rowers. The ones I saw were “8 man sculls” — each had eight oarsmen and a coxswain on board. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Too many churches have a lack of direction. They simply don&#8217;t know who they are or where they are going. They continue to do the same old thing because that&#8217;s what they&#8217;ve always done (and probably always will).
It&#8217;s okay to do the same old thing if you know why you&#8217;re doing it and if those [...]]]></description>
