In remembrance of an event that took place 50 years + 1 week ago, Dad tells the story of the internal schism in the Missouri Synod, the "walkout" of professors and students from Concordia Seminary St. Louis, and the founding of a seminary in exile, popularly known as Seminex. It is the founding story of why American Lutheranism looks the way it does today and mirrors the wider cultural polarization, yet with uniquely theological elements all its own. Triumphalists on either side beware; this is a tragedy.
Notes:
1. Todd, Authority Vested
2. Burkee, Power, Politics, and the Missouri Synod
3. Tietjen, Memoirs in Exile
4. A Statement of Scriptural and Confessional Principles (LCMS)
5. See more on Dad's new blog with a number of essays on this history, Theological Ramblings,
