Telling a Fuller Story

History & Biography

“The contributors to this diverse collection of essays have done a great service to the field of American Lutheran history. Though Lutheranism has been popularly seen as a “white church” tradition, these essays remind us that the presence and contributions of Black Lutherans have been a part of the American Lutheran story from nearly the beginning. From pastors to schoolteachers, from administrators to civil rights activists, these men and women, often in the face of adversity, expressed their faith in ways that both inspire and challenge us today.”

What a Fellowship

History & Biography

“In the genre of American Lutheran denominational histories, Gracia Grindal's What a Fellowship accomplishes something refreshingly unique. Not only does she tell the story of the Lutheran Free Church and Augsburg College and Seminary with skill and detail, but she does so as a part of her own family's history in this part of the American Lutheran experience. Filled with personal reminiscences, this book takes us back to an earlier time in American life amid changes and challenges from which everyone, both inside and outside of the Lutheran community, can learn.”
