DETROIT LUTHERAN TO CEASE PUBLICATION WITH JUNE ISSUE
After 68 years of serving Michigan, the Detroit Lutheran will cease publication with the June issue. The Board of Directors of the Lutheran Center Association, which publishes the Detroit Lutheran, reluctantly made the decision at its March board meeting. Mounting financial losses due to the cost of printing the paper, dwindling subscriptions, and too little news to print are the main reasons that the paper is closing.
The Board and staff at the Lutheran Center Association have worked hard over the last two years to keep the paper open and growing, but in the end, had to give in to the same realities that other newspapers in southeast Michigan and across the country are also facing.
While the paper will be ceasing publication, the Bookstore, the Council of Lutheran Women, and the Center's annual Luther Fest will continue. The Lutheran Center Association Board wishes to thank all of its subscribers for their loyalty, support, and patience over the years.
History
The Detroit Lutheran was a monthly publication of the Lutheran Center Association, published in the metropolitan area from 1941 to 2009. The paper carried news of Michigan’s LCMS churches, schools, and individual members, as well as The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, its Districts (particularly the Michigan and English Districts), seminaries, colleges, and universities.
