Planned Giving Gift Summary - Lutheran Church-Canada

G. 65
Krispin of CUCA for taking the time to thoughtfully consider issues regarding relationship of the seminaries to the
university college and to Rev. Dr. Edwin Lehman for his recall and research into seminary history.
As Task Force Chair I would like to thank all the members of the Task Force and their families for all their work and
sacrifice over the past two years. Each of the Task Force members have brought unique gifts and perspectives to our
deliberations and each have demonstrated a deep and abiding passion for our seminaries and the specific work we as
a group were asked to do.
Above all else however, thanks be to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in whose name this work was begun,
continued and is now concluded. May the work of this Task Force, and indeed all the work done in pastoral
formation in Lutheran Church–Canada serve the primary goal of all pastoral training: “Do your best to present
yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” – 2
Timothy 2:15 (ESV).
In Christ
Respectfully submitted
