Commissioned by the Board of Directors last fall, Wittenberg’s yearlong study of its relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America commenced this summer. Undertaken in recognition of the changes in the campus, church and society at-large, the “Wittenberg Lutheran Identity Study” fulfills one of the university’s strategic plan initiatives and serves as a follow-up to a similar study conducted 10 years ago at Wittenberg.
