“Cook of Concord”: Feeding on Lutheran theology

PORT COQUITLAM, B.C. – Generous portions of theology, fellowship, and food marked the launch of “Cook of Concord” at Hope Lutheran Church on January 28. The new monthly gathering drew 20 participants eager to read the Book of Concord and explore Lutheran theology while enjoying a shared meal. Engaging conversations filled the room as Rev. Lucas Andre Albrecht taught the historical and theological context of the book. 

The menu presented Brazilian/Albrecht pancakes (crêpes) accompanied by rice, salads, and an assortment of sweets. Thanks are due to Jay Albrecht, Steven Reilly, and Michele Malmberg for their support in preparing and organizing the meal. 

The Cook of Concord project has been in the oven for the past six months, but it’s now coming to the table with meetings scheduled every fourth Tuesday of the month. Each meeting will have an assigned cook bringing a special dish for all to share, adding a unique culinary experience to the unique experience of reading the Book of Concord. 

The Book of Concord holds a central place in Lutheran theology, presenting confessional documents that articulate the church’s biblical teachings. Anyone interested in exploring these foundational texts is welcome to join. 

Rev. Lucas Andre Albrecht
