Continuation: The Story of Seminex: The Missouri Synod 50 Years Later
President Matthew Harrison of the Missouri Synod says he was “a blissfully unaware 12-year-old” when the “Walkout” of all but five professors at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis occurred in 1974. It was a tumultuous time. Missouri Synod president Jacob Preus had authorized the production of a doctrinal statement to evaluate what the professors at the St. Louis seminary were teaching. At its 1973 convention, the LCMS adopted “A Statement of Scriptural and Confessional Principles” as an official doctrinal statement. It still stands as a sound testimony against the trends of modern theology. This week, we’ll look at Harrison’s summary of that statement, identify several strains of teaching within the LCMS, and talk about the on-going “informal” talks between Missouri Synod and the WELS.
