Leland Elhard is an Associate Professor of pastoral theology at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Columbus, Ohio (ALC). He spent four weeks this past summer observing, visiting, and working with the people of the Lutheran churches in the near east side of Baltimore, Maryland, sponsored by the Mutual Enrichment Program of LHRAA. The new and interesting possibilities which emerged from his experience are, it seems to us, worthy of priority consideration by other churches. We are sharing some of his thoughts and insights here. It should not be surprising that what Dr. Elhard says about Baltimore - the city and the churches - can also be said about other areas, other cities, other congregations. For this reason, we hope that these observations will be taken very seriously, discussed, and carefully digested, and acted upon.
