Dear Concordia Alumna/us,
We
show love in many ways
to one another--to our spouses, children, friends, and colleagues. There is romantic love (eros), brotherly/sisterly love (philia), and unconditional love (agape), which
is the love that Jesus has for us. E
ach day when we make breakfast for our family, or we help a stranger in the community, or we support one another at CUAA, we are
putting love into action.
Did you know that Concordia is the Latin word for "with one heart?" So, think about it. Instead of Concordia University, we could be With One Heart University. As we celebrate this month of love, let's remember the many ways in which we show love for one another within the Concordia community.
Take a look at the many events and opportunities below
to show the heart of Concordia.

2018-19 Academic Theme - More than Conquerors
.... No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-- Romans 8:31-39
