Student Body
LTSS is a seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and consists primarily of students who identify themselves as Lutherans. However, there are also significant populations of United Methodist and Episcopalian students (Rt. Rev. Neil Alexander, Episcopal Bishop of Atlanta, is actually a 1980 graduate of LTSS). In 2004, in cooperation with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, LTSS began a program designed specifically for Baptist students at the seminary. The student enrollment is roughly equal of men and women, and the average age for the junior class is typically around 35.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or body:
“Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge College is as solitary as a dervis in the desert.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I stand in awe of my body, this matter to which I am bound has become so strange to me. I fear not spirits, ghosts, of which I am one,—that my body might,—but I fear bodies, I tremble to meet them. What is this Titan that has possession of me? Talk of mysteries! Think of our life in nature,—daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it,—rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks! the solid earth! the actual world! the common sense! Contact! Contact! Who are we? where are we?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
