Pastor's Class on Lutheran's in America

Location FLC Library

Pastor Ian will be using the DVD Series "We Must Plant the Church" The Story of Lutheran's in North America for his next class Session.

When Lutherans came to America, they brought with them Martin Luther’s belief that people of faith engage the big questions of the day.

This story is characterized by the tension between honoring the European roots of the church and adapting to the new realities of American life. The Lutheran church, from its earliest days, faced religious pluralism, intolerance, racism, war, lack of state support and diversity of languages and traditions. It wasn't easy then, and it isn't easy now. Understanding American Lutheran history can change the way we see ourselves and our future.
