A Blessed St. Ignatius Day
from
St. Ignatius Lutheran Theological Seminary!
The world continues to ask the devil’s question, “Has God indeed said…?”
By the power of God’s Holy Spirit the Church continues to answer the world with
boldness and clarity as it faithfully believes, teaches, and confesses all that
Christ Jesus has taught in the Holy Scriptures. St. Ignatius Lutheran
Theological Seminary is established for the very purpose of this holy work. The
Church must continue to train men in the Word so they may faithfully give the
divine gifts of the Gospel and the Sacraments to all nations, for all
generations to come until Christ comes again in glory.
The Evangelical Lutheran Diocese of North America (ELDoNA) is currently
accepting applications for enrollment for St. Ignatius Seminary Here
candidates for the pastorate will be trained to hold fast to all that Christ
has taught the Church. They will be taught to rely on the Word of God, to apply
the faithful teachings of the Lutheran Confessions, and to observe the
historical practices of the one holy, Christian and apostolic Church that
proclaim God’s truth. They will be equipped so that they may be worthy
candidates for Christ’s Holy Office of the Ministry, rather than being timid
hirelings or those who are conformed to the world.
St. Ignatius Seminary is named for Saint Ignatius of Antioch, who is
remembered for his faithful contributions to teaching doctrine and practice in
the Church. The example of this bishop and martyr is a valuable asset to the
Church as he exemplified both wisdom and humility in Jesus Christ. (Please
note, St. Ignatius is not to be confused with Ignatius of Loyola, who was
canonized by the Roman church for waging war against the teachings of the
Reformation.)
As the Augsburg Confession states, it is taught among us that we receive
forgiveness and “become righteous before God by grace, for Christ's sake,
through faith,” (AC IV) and that God has instituted His Holy Office through
which He provides the preaching of the Gospel and the administering of the
Sacraments, the gifts by which His Holy Spirit produces such faith. (AC V) St.
Ignatius Seminary is founded on these teachings as it trains men for this
office.
