We had an excellent conference at Cross of Christ Lutheran Church (LCMS) on 18.October.2023. Rev. Andrew Eckert spoke on the ongoing need for Pastoral care of other Pastors. Dr. Eugene Boe of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren spoke about the role the seminary serves in his church body. The Rt. Rev. James Heiser (ELDoNA) spoke about ecclesiology, especially in the context of a post-Christian America. And our host, the Rev. John DeYoung, gave us an overview of the development of Missouri Synod synodical conventions up to and including the one held earlier this year.
And! It was reported that, over the life of the Augustana Ministerium, over $290,000 has been distributed in the form of aid to needy pastors!
