Each year during the season of Advent the Gustavus community celebrates its Christian and Lutheran heritage through the annual Christmas in Christ Chapel.

On behalf of the Gustavus Adolphus College Association of Congregations (GACAC), President Jim Peterson will present the 2007 Service Award during daily chapel at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 30 to Donn H. Escher ’50 and Ellen Ruiters ’97.

The symposium featured The Rev. Richard John Neuhaus and his talk “Religion in American Public Life.” Those that missed the event and live webcast will be able to watch the archived video at http://www.gustavus.edu/events/lindau.
