2025 Annual Convention
In his 1523 essay On Temporal Authority, Martin Luther explores the concept of two kingdoms: the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the world. According to Luther, all people live under the authority of these two realms—the earthly kingdom of the left hand and the spiritual kingdom of the right hand. The central question is: how do we navigate being citizens of both kingdoms? What is the relationship between the two, and how do we live faithfully in both? In light of the current political climate in America and our congregations, with the Scriptures and catechisms in hand, how can we engage the world, even as we recognize that this world is not our true home? Join us at the 2025 Augustana District Convention to delve into Luther’s teachings on the left and right-hand kingdoms and discover their profound relevance for your life as a Christian today.
