To Honor Its Founder, LQ Establishes the Oliver K. Olson EndowmentFrom LQ Board Member Mark Granquist:
That Lutheran Quarterly exists today is a miracle, plain and simple. Given the painful realities of serious academic publishing, an independent journal such as LQ is a rarity, without institutional support (and attendant oversight!) or a deep-pocket funder. For over thirty years now LQ has been publishing the best theological and historical scholarship and insight on the Lutheran tradition, independent of any institutional attachment. We can speak the truth, and make our arguments as we can. Truly a miracle. If LQ is a miracle, then Oliver Olson is the miracle worker. In the 1980s Oliver almost single-handedly spearheaded the drive to revive Lutheran Quarterly from the oblivion it had sunk into in the early 1970s. It was an audacious move, but one that he carried out by the force of his vision and will. As the (re)founder and first editor of the journal, he established the norms and patterns of its existence, and then found others to carry on his legacy and vision. Miracles can take us only so far, however. Legacies and visions must be sustained by constant work, commitment, and resources. It becomes the task of the current and future leadership of Lutheran Quarterly to carry out our mission with the boldness and vigor that Oliver brought to it in its (re)founding over thirty years ago. We propose another miracle: the formation and funding of the Oliver Olson Endowment for Lutheran Quarterly, to honor Oliver, and to ensure that his vision lives on into the future. This endowment will be our commitment to his work and to our present and future work in providing the best of Lutheran scholarship and theology for the church and the world. The Olson Endowment will be another resource for continuing and strengthening this work. We ask you to join with us in establishing and generously funding this endowment to honor Oliver and to continue our shared work. *With $16,500 given/pledged already, we invite your gift and/or pledge for 2019-2020, to managing editor Bud Thompson. *Contact: vftonlummi@gmail.com or call 410-516-6987.
