"FAITH IS A LIVING, DARING CONFIDENCE IN GOD'S GRACE."
                                                                              - The Rev. Dr.  Martin Luther

This year, 2017, marked the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's posting his 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, sparking the Protestant Reformation. All around the world, historians, theologians, sociologists, seminaries, colleges, and congregations marked this anniversary in various ways. At UniLu, we observed the anniversary through worship, education, service, and music/arts. Below is some information about various things at UniLu and elsewhere on the San Francisco Peninsula.

Our church sits in an ancestral homeland of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. Christian colonizers forced their ancestors into missions and seized their land. We grieve the loss of indigenous lives, the destruction of indigenous culture, and the commodification of indigenous land. God calls us to a right relationship with this land and its past, present, and future caretakers. Muwekma neighbors are a sovereign people. May we live in solidarity with them and repair Creation with all.
