PLEASE JOIN US for this event to hear and learn how we can be involved in continuing to share the message of the value of every human life.

SPEAKERS:

​DR. RONI GRAD, KEYNOTE SPEAKER: “I was born in Detroit, MI, received my BA and MD at Boston ​University, practiced pediatric pulmonology mostly in academic settings and retired in 2016. I am a ​member of Catalina Lutheran Church in Tucson, where I wear many hats including Chair of our ​congregation’s Life Team. I serve as Board member and secretary on the Lutherans For Life Board ​of Directors, and as Life Coordinator for the English District, Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. I just ​completed the course of training in the Arizona South Circuit Lutheran Servanthood School.”

​​DR. GRAD will give TWO PRESENTATIONS during this Life Summit:

​​​INTRICATELY WOVEN – We will review the human development in the womb, touch on a ​​​few things that can occasionally go wrong in this vale of tears, and consider some ​​​​Scripture along the way.

​​​ORGAN DONATION AND DETERMINATION OF DEATH – through the lens of Scripture, our ​​​Lutheran Confessions, liturgy and hymnody, we will examine the ethical issues ​​​​​surrounding common (and generally unquestioned) practices related to the donation of ​​​​organs at the end of one’s earthly life. We will discuss the recent Lutherans For Life ​​​​position statement, Determination of Death (with Special Reference to Organ Donation), ​​​and the implications for end-of-life planning.

PASTOR PAUL CLARK is the Lutherans For Life of Michigan Federation President, and Life Coordinator for the Michigan District. He also serves on the LFL National Board of Directors. Pastor Clark will be the M.C. of our event, as well as giving an opening presentation on the theme “THE SPLENDOR OF LIFE IN A BROKEN WORLD.” Pastor Clark will also give an update on where things stand in our current state of affairs, especially here in Michigan.
