The Service Conducted Facing The People, Charles Mcclean

Concordia Theological Monthly

The practice of ceremonial worship is closely related to the heart of the Christian faith. The Scriptures teach and the church confesses that Christ redeemed the whole man. Our bodies, too, share in the redemption accomplished by the Son of God, who Himself took flesh and blood of His virgin mother. Christ chose earthly, tangible elements -water, bread, and wine - to impart to men the salvation He accomplished.

Is God Trying To Tell Us Something?, Wayne Saffen

Concordia Theological Monthly

As the 1970s began, the western region of the National Campus Ministry Association held a convocation at the University of California's Santa Cruz campus to consider "Life Planning." The present article is a revision of this author's discussion paper for that conference. Its theme really deals with the crisis in ministry as such. As usual, campus ministry turns out to be one of the sensitive outposts catching some of the first signals of changes coming to affect church and ministry in the world. It is shared here with a wider readership in a firm commitment to and belief in confraternity …

Black Children With White Parents, Dennis Conrad

Master of Divinity Thesis

It may be useful to pastor, layman, or anyone unfamiliar with the field. There are thousands of children in this country who do not have permanent homes.

What Sort Of Personality Should The Pastor-Counselor Have, Walter Geist

Master of Divinity Thesis

Young men going into the service of the church only have a vague idea about the role of pastor as counselor. They realize that there is a certain amount of counseling they will be required to do as pastors and yet their seminary education provides them with few structured courses in this area of ministry. The student may suddenly realize that he is not prepared to function as counselor for personal problems and interpersonal relationships. In an effort to help the student prepare for counseling relationships this study will examine and present the most basic resource a pastor-counselor should have; …

This study proposes to document how the Common Service came to be adopted first by the English Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri and Other States and then by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Missouri, Ohio and other States, and to show how extensive the use of this order has been between the years 1912, the date the first official English hymnal which included the Common Service was published by the Missouri Synod, and 1941, the year in which the 1940 revision of The Lutheran Hymnal was published.

The Role Of The Old Testament In High School Level Curricula Of The American Lutheran Church, The Lutheran Church In America, And The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod 1964-1970, Harold W. Rast

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

The aim of this study is to determine how the various curriculum materials present Word of God in the Old Testament. Accordingly, topics or categories to be dealt with include revelation, Bible, the unity of the testaments, salvation, morality, and historical-critical exegesis.

In a general way, then, this study proposes to engage in what educators would call descriptive research. One type of descriptive research is content analysis, the use of a set of techniques to determine certain specified characteristics of verbal communication. According to Gephart and Ingle, education professors at Indiana University and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the purpose of …

First Communion And Confirmation, Berthold Von Schenk

Concordia Theological Monthly

The decision concerning the right age for First Communion is the prerogative of the pastor in the setting of his congregation. Every baptized child of God should receive the sacramental grace imparted in Holy Communion.

Ministry Without Fear, Krister Stendahl

Concordia Theological Monthly

I worry a lot about speaking to you senior seminarians. I feel honored and moved by the occasion. I sense much of the feelings and the fears and the joys and hopes, sometimes together and sometimes in clash, that are present in this room and in your branch of the church. It is the kind of situation in which it is difficult for anyone to speak who doesn't have to pay the price of staying and sweating it out. I will not give a very delightful and happy dinner speech, although, I guess, real humor is not to tell stories …
