TLHP 60 Wyneken in Baltimore: Contesting Lutheran Identity 1845-1850


Listen Later

This episode is a fuller version of my presentation given at the 2024 Lutheran Historical Conference in Baltimore. Link to the full video of this episode.

One church historian observed that “ It would require pages and pages to report Wyneken's work during his pastorate [in Baltimore].”  
This episode will examine one specific topic- how Wyneken contested for a genuine Lutheran identity and practice in the following arenas in Baltimore:

  • 2nd German Evangelical Lutheran Church
  • Evangelical Lutheran General Synod
  • Forming the German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, etc.
  • The IOOF, Red Men, and other lodges
