  • Commission on Theology and Church Relations
    COMMISSION ON THEOLOGY AND CHURCH RELATIONS SECTION 10 Commission on Theology and Church Relations COMMISSION ON THEOLOGY AND CHURCH RELATIONS TheThe Lutheran Lutheran Church Church—Missouri—Missouri SynodSynod WhatWHAT isIS THEthe CTCR? The Holy Christian Church consists of all those—and only those—who trust in God’s Son, Jesus Christ, as their Savior from sin. It is called into being, nurtured, and extended by the power of the Holy Spirit working through the Gospel in Word and Sacraments. Because the church’s life is so intimately involved with these means of grace, it must take special care that they are not falsified or distorted in any way as the church reaches out to people living in a particular time or place. A church body that prizes the Gospel will therefore be concerned about theology. Moreover, because Christians are “eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Eph 4:3), a Christian church seeks to deepen and strengthen in every way possible its own internal unity and also its relationship with other Christian church bodies. Such a church body is therefore vitally concerned with proper church relations. In order to provide leadership in dealing with the Synod’s needs and opportunities in the areas of theology and church relations, the Synod established the Commission on Theology and Church Relations in 1962. Since that time, the Commission has provided reports on a number of significant theological issues and has been the Synod’s primary agency for monitoring the Synod’s ecumenical relationships with other Christians. The CTCR’s reports, along with other theological documents and resources, are available on the CTCR’s website at http://www.lcms.org/ctcr.

The two trips to Wittenberg over the January terms (2014 and 2016) and course on “Luther as Pastor” were very good introductions to Luther on-site.
