The Story of Seminex: The Missouri Synod 50 Years Later
Throughout much of its history, the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) was a rock of Lutheran doctrinal strength. During the 1950s and 60s, however, there were signs that things were beginning to change. The election of a liberal-leaning seminary president at its leading seminary in St. Louis set the stage for a dramatic walkout and the establishment of a “seminary in exile” (or “Seminex”) in 1974. That conflict shaped the LCMS for years and has left its imprint on the synod even now—50 years later. Where does the Missouri Synod stand today? What is the state of the relationship between the WELS and the LCMS? Is there any hope for reconciliation between the two synods?
