The Development Of Principal And Practice Toward Government Aid Toreligious Elementary Education In The Lutheran Church Of Brazil, Elmer Reimnitz May 1965

The Development Of Principal And Practice Toward Government Aid Toreligious Elementary Education In The Lutheran Church Of Brazil, Elmer Reimnitz

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The problem of this thesis is to examine the tension between the official position of the Lutheran Church of Brazil and the practice of its congregations. The development of this tension through the years and the reasoning followed by the congregations and pastors for accepting state aid to religious elementary education will also be examined together with conclusions as to the future course of. the Lutheran Church of Brazil concerning government aid to religious elementary education.

An Analysis Of Clericalim In Some Philippine Church Bodies As An Obstacle To Lay Activty In The Lutheran Church In The Philippines, Norbert Becker May 1965

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 Apr 1965

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 …

The Mission Of Concordia Seminary, Alfred O. Fuerbringer Dec 1964

The Mission Of Concordia Seminary, Alfred O. Fuerbringer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Perhaps the title needs a word of explanation. We do not ordinarily think of "mission" in connection with long-established educational institutions unless, perhaps, they are located in foreign lands and are part of a "mission" related to a sending church. In fact, all too often "education," even ministerial and missionary training, has been viewed critically as a rival of "missions" for the church’s concern, interest, and dollar.

The International Student-Test Of A Living Church, William J. Danker Sep 1960

The International Student-Test Of A Living Church, William J. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

In a world in which the process of homogenization is being stepped up constantly, it is not surprising that we have reached the era of the International Man. Amid the strident cries of nationalism from newly independent nations of Asia and Africa and in the complacently preoccupied provincialism of America's Midwest it is easy to overlook him, but he is there.

Toward An Understanding Of Our New Sister Synod In India, M. H. Grumm Jan 1960

Toward An Understanding Of Our New Sister Synod In India, M. H. Grumm

Concordia Theological Monthly

At the San Francisco convention of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod the India Evangelical Lutheran Church was accepted in fellowship as a sister synod. Though this young church is still heavily dependent on our American church for support in money and missionary personnel, it has been accepted as a church in its own right, and it is following a phased plan working toward its own support. The American church may feel a justified sense of satisfaction in seeing a small but living church established in this faraway country through the work of its Mission, and it can also justly …

Racisim And The Chrisitian World Mission, Joseph Ellwanger Jun 1958

Racisim And The Chrisitian World Mission, Joseph Ellwanger

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The thesis may be divided into four main parts. Chapters II and III deal with the history of racism. Chapters IV and V show, the interaction of the Church's world mission and racism upon each other. The goal of the thesis is reached in Chapter VI, where the Christian world mission in a world of racism and counter-racism is outlined. And the special study on South Africa in Chapter VII is an application of the findings of the thesis to the most crucial area of Western racism at the present time.

It seeks to give the students of the Department of Missions and members of mission boards interested in the Philippines an insight into the problems and challenges of education in the Philippines as it has to …

The Mission Commands Of Christ, Herbert Manthey Zorn May 1947

The Mission Commands Of Christ, Herbert Manthey Zorn

Bachelor of Divinity

This paper places emphasis on the word "command." Its purpose is to explain what Christ meant when He said, "Go ye." The discussion deals chiefly with the five records of mission commands which the Savior issued after His resurrection and before His ascension to heaven. The problems of mission work and the various methods and approaches necessary to make that work efficient are beyond the scope of this paper.

Foreword, W. Arndt Jan 1943

Foreword, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

Another year arrives, and what a hapless, disjointed, sad, disillusioned world it looks upon! Nation slaughters nation; the globe resembles one huge shambles; civilization apparently is collapsing, the social order disintegrating; the noble inventions and discoveries of science are harnessed to the chariot of destruction and death; the ingenuity of statesmen stands discredited; education has led downward; mankind may be compared to a large monster which is gnawing at its own vitals. Those whose eyes have not been entirely dimmed can plainly discern the seven angels pouring out the vials of divine wrath on the earth.

The Pastor And Mission Opportunities, Arthur Brunn Jun 1937

The Pastor And Mission Opportunities, Arthur Brunn

Concordia Theological Monthly

Have we become guilty of introducing faulty terminology by speaking of a certain group of pastors as "missionary pastors"? The impression seems to be abroad among us that missionary pastors are the men who are working in parishes under the supervision and control of some mission board. We speak of so many mission-stations. A given synodical District lists so many missionaries at work in the Home Mission field. Synod has so many missionary in the Foreign Mission field. These are the "missionary pastors." However, the pastor of old St. John's on Foch Boulevard is not a missionary pastor. His church …
