The Association of Confessional Lutherans
and
The Luther Academy
are in the process of planning the next
Congress on the Lutheran Confessions
ACL National Free Conference 25
Luther Academy Lecture Series 21
April 30 - May 2, 2014
Ramada Mall of America
Bloomington (a suburb of Minneapolis), Minnesota
The overall theme for this congress is:
COUSINS IN CHRIST:
THE WELS, ELS, AND LCMS
Recent free conferences and synodical conventions have opened the possibility
of renewed discussions between the three largest confessional Lutheran synods
in the United States; namely, the Wisconsin Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Synod,
and Missouri Synod. A number of issues remain unresolved from 1961, when these
three constituent members of the “Synodical Conference” parted ways and broke
church fellowship. Many people wonder: “Have these Lutheran synods moved closer
together, or farther apart, in the past 50 years?” and “Is some type of
cooperation in externals between these synods possible, or even desirable?” and
“If there is doctrinal unity between these synods, is church fellowship
possible?” Theologians, professors, and pastors from each of these synods will
explore the various issues that still divide these synodical “cousins in
Christ.”
