Pastoral Counseling With The Dying Child And His Family, Kenneth Doka
Pastoral Counseling With The Dying Child And His Family, Kenneth Doka
Master of Divinity Thesis
This paper hopes to explore the area of pastoral counseling to the dying child and his family. The paper views such a ministry as having three major facets. First is the ministry to the dying child himself. While this seems elementary, it is often neglected, often because of the minister’s own difficulty with the death of a child. It must be realized that childhood is not a homogeneous unit but that there are sharply differentiated stages within childhood. The five-year-old reacts to death in ways considerably different from the adolescent. Thus research along these lines, along with its pastoral implications …
The Use Of The Word In The Counseling Process, Leonard E. Stahlke
The Use Of The Word In The Counseling Process, Leonard E. Stahlke
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The purpose of this study was to investigate the problem of what is meant by pastoral care and pastoral counseling, and by the counseling process, the techniques used in that process, and the place of the pastoral counseling process in the practical ministry of the pastor; then, to relate these findings to a sound scriptural approach of the use of the Word in the counseling process.
Ministry Without Fear, Krister Stendahl
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 …
The Brotherly Task, Paul J. Bauermeister
The Brotherly Task, Paul J. Bauermeister
Concordia Theological Monthly
Between the years 1951 and 1956 I sat out there where you are with enough regularity that no one ever got overly concerned about my spiritual condition. Back in those days, it seems to me, there was less concern about the "spiritual condition" and more concern about chapel attendance. I think that's progress. During those years I sat out there I remembered thinking, frequently, that I did not want to be up here in the chancel-ever! - that the good place to be was out there-not up here. I was right; but as we say: That's my problem.
Called To Service And To Seminary, David S. Schuller
Called To Service And To Seminary, David S. Schuller
Concordia Theological Monthly
How does it happen? On assignment day the whole world spread out before him… entering the ministry … his own group of people to shepherd … the heady challenge of a world needing both the courage of a prophet and the resounding proclamation of a gospel … the continuity of the holy Christian church. He was about to step into the procession of the Te Deum. His wife's hand squeezed his as his name was called. Not too many years later late at night he sits wondering. It hasn't turned out as he had dreamed. The opposition was more insidious, …
Spiritual Formation For Ministry, Eugene I. Van Antwerp
Spiritual Formation For Ministry, Eugene I. Van Antwerp
Concordia Theological Monthly
Dimiui Shostakovich has described his Fifth Symphony (D Major, Opus 47), composed just 30 years ago, as "the assertion of personality. It is man with all his emotions and experiences that I saw as the focus of design in this work."
A Sociological Analysis Of The Communiunity Immediately Surrounding Our Savior Lutheran Church, St. Louis, Missouri, Kenneth Haupt
A Sociological Analysis Of The Communiunity Immediately Surrounding Our Savior Lutheran Church, St. Louis, Missouri, Kenneth Haupt
Master of Divinity Thesis
The scope of this study must include three parts. Firstly, a careful analysis of the community surrounding Our Savior Lutheran Church must be made. Such an analysis ought to delineate the geographical information as well as the needs and the resources of the community. Secondly, an analysis of Our Savior Congregation is important, dealing mainly with the congregation’s understanding of, its willingness to, and its ability for ministry in this community. Thirdly, a study of theological education is necessary in order to ascertain curricular models which are capable of fulfilling functions commensurate to the objectives of Concordia Seminary as well …
Reading Programs In Theology: Forms Of Church And Ministry, Erwin L. Lueker
Reading Programs In Theology: Forms Of Church And Ministry, Erwin L. Lueker
Concordia Theological Monthly
The study of the church can begin with almost any point of philosophy or theology. The church is Christology-Christ taking form in the world. The church is anthropology - people growing into the full stature of manhood. The church is sociology-the really beloved community forming as the body of its Lord. The church is wisdom-the pillar and ground of truth. The church is semantics-the Word taking form not in sign or sound but in flesh and blood. The church is eschatology-the little flock which has received, is received, and will receive the Kingdom. The church is family-a mother nourishes her …
The Gospel And Its Freedom Today: A Foreword, Carl S. Meyer
The Gospel And Its Freedom Today: A Foreword, Carl S. Meyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
The proclamation of the gospel with its message of freedom in Christ Jesus is the compelling drive of the churchman's life. To say that the unifying principle of his life's work is the furtherance of the gospel is to say that he is conscious of the basic specification of his task. But it is saying more than that. It postulates a commitment, a conscious program, and the ability to carry out the task. It permeates the churchman's being and total personality, his dealings with his fellow servants, and his conscious evaluation of them and of self.

The Pastor As Scholar, Herbert Lindemann
The Pastor As Scholar, Herbert Lindemann
Concordia Theological Monthly
That some pastors are scholars is true enough. But it is also true that most of them don't continue as pastors very long; presently they become members of a college or seminary faculty. Those who do stay in parish work are not likely to achieve great success, at least statistically, for the parochial ministry today is an activist function; there is not much time for contemplation or for intensive study.
Towards An Understanding Of And Pastoral Approach To The Potential Suicide, Allan Bruck
Towards An Understanding Of And Pastoral Approach To The Potential Suicide, Allan Bruck
Bachelor of Divinity
That suicide is such a destructive force in the lives of men is reason enough to undertake a serious study of this problem. For the pastor, however, there is a more impelling reason for such study: in his pastoral ministry, the clergyman will be confronted by the potential suicide and will be forced to influence his course of action, either for the better or for the worse. This paper would serve as an introduction to the problem of suicide, and, hopefully; as a motivation for further pastoral study.
An Excellent Ministry, Adalbert R. Kretzmann
An Excellent Ministry, Adalbert R. Kretzmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
As some of you know, the days of prep school and seminary have a way of fading into idealized dawns and dusks with nothing much in between. Those were the days before Synod's abdication to coeduation, and celibacy had not yet lost its battle in these sacred halls. Engagements were completely unheard of until the day after calls were assigned. Dean Fritz's cryptograms on the summons card had been completely decoded and transferred to the secrecy of the fuse box outside his office door. He referred to it constantly so that there would be no doubt in his mind that …
An Analysis Of Clericalim In Some Philippine Church Bodies As An Obstacle To Lay Activty In The Lutheran Church In The Philippines, Norbert Becker
An Analysis Of Clericalim In Some Philippine Church Bodies As An Obstacle To Lay Activty In The Lutheran Church In The Philippines, Norbert Becker
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The present study is born out of the conviction that, humanly speaking, the future of the Lutheran Church in the Philippines, and that of any Christian body for that matter, lies in a vitally active laity. It is also born out of a bit of experience that has seen what laymen can do when properly stimulated and guided. The study is made also in the belief that the clergy themselves to a large extent hold the key to a genuinely active laity and that they can be a tremendous influence either positively or negatively.
The Self-Understanding Of The Church, Martin L. Kretmann
The Self-Understanding Of The Church, Martin L. Kretmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
The theme of the 1965 convention of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod will be the words of our lord to His disciples when He appeared to them on the evening of the day of his resurrection: "As the Father has sent Me, even so I send you." Special attention will be given to the latter phrase in devotions and essays, and the whole convention proceedings will center in the concept that the church, the body of all who believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as their lord and Savior, is sent into the world on His mission, to …
