As the classes of the Initial Theological Course at the ELCIR Theological Institute are coming to an end, we give thanks to God that they can take place at different local congregations.

 

In late October, Senior Pastor Vladimir Bitkin of Kolpany Lutheran Church, Leningrad Oblast, taught an introduction to the Old Testament and the Pentateuch in the lecture room of St. Anne’s Lutheran Church in St. Petersburg. Pastor Vladimir would like to thank St. Anne’s congregation for the excellent conditions and amenities for the teacher and his audience and for allowing to take extra time for the lecture!
