The past couple weeks have kept me quite busy, and the next few are equally packed full of new opportunities and experiences. I\u2019m excited to report and reflect on all these wonderful things via Hunger Rumblings. So here\u2019s a preview of future entries based on what\u2019s been going on with me, and what\u2019s coming up!<\/p>\n<p>Class: Last Wednesday I started a Christian Ethics class at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lstc.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago<\/a>. The class is called The Church in Society: A Lutheran Perspective. We\u2019ll be exploring the nature and meaning of social ethics, specifically the tradition of Lutheran social ethics. I\u2019m still figuring out what that means, but I am anticipating a classroom learning experience that brings together social ethical theory and the practical dimension of how Lutheran congregations and faith-based organizations engage problems in the world. The class meets for the second time tonight, and I\u2019ll be blogging soon about some of the cool things I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll be learning once the class gets rolling.<\/p>\n<p>GMGs: Last weekend I attended the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elca.org\/Who-We-Are\/Our-Three-Expressions\/Churchwide-Organization\/Global-Mission\/Engage-in-Global-Mission\/Global-Events\/Glocal-Mission-Gatherings.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Glocal Mission Gathering<\/a> in Lexington, South Carolina. I also get to travel to Grand Forks, North Dakota in the beginning of October for another Glocal Mission Gathering. In South Carolina learned a lot, saw some cool things and had great workshop and conversation time with really interesting people! Stay tuned for more GMG reflections.<\/p>\n<p>Hunger Leadership Gathering: This weekend I get to be a part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elca.org\/Our-Faith-In-Action\/Responding-to-the-World\/ELCA-World-Hunger\/Resources\/For-Hunger-Leaders\/Leadership-Gathering.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">ELCA World Hunger Leadership Gathering<\/a> in Detroit, MI. I\u2019m excited to get on the road tomorrow and join many of my colleagues who are already in Detroit, setting up for this awesome weekend event. I\u2019m really looking forward to meeting ELCA World <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elca.org\/Our-Faith-In-Action\/Responding-to-the-World\/ELCA-World-Hunger\/Resources\/For-Hunger-Leaders.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Hunger leaders<\/a> from across the country and participating in the plenary sessions, workshops and field trips planned. I lived in Michigan nine months out of the year for four years while I was in college, but only ventured to the east side of the state one time. I think it\u2019s going to be incredibly interesting to explore some of Detroit\u2019s unique issues related to hunger and poverty.<\/p>\n<p>All this going on means I have a lot to blog about! I\u2019ll be sharing more soon!<\/p>\n<p>Julie Reishus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the summer came to a close and fall kicked into full gear, I transitioned from my summer internship position to an extension of my time with ELCA World Hunger &#8212; something I am very excited about!
