ABSTRACT

The Lutheran Church of Christ the Redeemer is an ELCA congregation in South Minneapolis that has a reputation for being liberal and ahead of its time. With a small congregation of about 200 baptized members, its average attendance on Sunday is about 100. LCCR is the church where Pastor Mary Albing works and where the congregation anxiously watches the on-goings of the ELCA on matters such as human sexuality. It is a congregation at risk.
