On October 2, friends of the Archive Bill and Char Maloney hosted a wonderful event at a conference center in Chicago to remember the 25th anniversary of the death of Joseph Sittler.  About 70 people attended, most, though not all, from the greater Chicago area.  Included were many former students and colleagues, as well as others who did not know Joe personally but have become admirers of his work.  Rob Saler, former Sittler Fellow at LSTC and now on the staff of the Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, was the MC.  The major portion of the morning was a 2-hour session of reminiscences.  There was a panel of presentations by Martin Marty, John Buchanan (editor, The Christian Century), Carl McKenzie (former student of Joe’s at Maywood), and Mel George (re the Sittler Archive), followed by an open mike session in which various attendees spoke about their particular memories of Joe and thoughts about his significance in today’s world.

That was followed by a veritable feast of a lunch, which included Polish Sausage and sauerkraut, all made possible by the Maloneys.  After lunch there was an open discussion of the future of the Archive, with many comments, suggestions,  and questions. That segment was not videotaped but an audio recording will be available for the entire Sittler Archive Committee to consider as that group plans for the future of the Archive under the newly arrived President of LSTC.

Many thanks to Bill and Char for this marvelous and significant event!
