Christian Century, April 19, 2005

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America's radio ministry underwent a major change after Easter. The newly retitled Grace Matters' has a new host, Peter Marry, senior pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Davenport, Iowa, and it features a magazine format with a guest interview. Known since it began in 1947 as Lutheran Vespers, the show will have guests such as a surgeon, a violin maker and a wetlands naturalist.

"I want to draw on the insights of scripture, tradition, contemporary culture and everyday life," said Marty, a board member of the Christian Century Foundation. The program airs on more than 175 radio stations.
