NEWS BY/FOR/ABOUT MEMBERS
Mark Anderson, 61 California Quarry Road, Woodstock, NY 12498, [email protected], is preparing a book on the occasion of the 200th anniversary (1806-2006) of Christ’s Lutheran Church, Woodstock, N.Y. Research to date has LHC Newsletter, Vol. 43, No. 4 November 2005 3 unearthed some interesting findings: the congregation used English from the beginning; Lewis Edson, singing-master and early composer of hymns and fuging (spelling is correct) tunes was a member of the congregation; a bass viol was the first instrument to accompany congregational singing; the first Woodstock “festivals” were revival meetings held by the Lutherans; and the liturgy of the 1868 Church Book of the General Council was probably used as soon as it was published. Some of this material will appear in periodicals in advance of the book. The congregation will be celebrating the bicentennial from May through November 2006. Among the festivities will be a banquet, a slide show based on historic materials and a series of concerts relating to the music used at different times during the life of the congregation. The church website will provide information regarding these activities. www.christwoodstock.org

LUTHERAN QUARTERLY "AMERICAN LUTHERAN LEADERS" PROJECT
The journal Lutheran Quarterly has announced a new series of articles on 20th-century American Lutheran leaders. These articles will be standard length essays on key leaders of 20th-century American Lutheranism, providing both a biographical sketch of the person s life and an evaluation of the subject’s theological and ecclesiastical influence on American Lutheranism. The first essay, focusing on Conrad Bergendoff, was written by Mark Granquist, LHC board member, and appears in the Summer 2005 issue of Lutheran Quarterly. Mark will also be the editor of the series. The hope is that when enough of the essays have been published, they will be combined into a single volume, published by Lutheran Quarterly Books.
If you have any suggestions on leaders who should be included in this series, or if you would be interested in contributing an essay in the series, please contact:

LACAP MOVE UNDERWAY
The Lutheran Archives Center at Philadelphia, the Northeast Regional Archives for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, began moving into new facilities in the recently dedicated Brossman Center on the campus of The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, in October, 2005. These are the first new facilities for the LHC Newsletter, Vol. 43, No. 4 November 2005 4 archives since 1908! The new space includes 10,000 linear feet of compact shelving, an area for reference books, processing, and an office. Eventually, the compact shelving will be 17,000 linear feet. In phase two of the seminary s building plan over the next five years, the archives will gain more formal offices, a visually supervised reading room, and a work room. The Brossman Center also has a secure room for museum-type displays of artifacts, archival materials and books from the collection of Krauth Memorial Library. The Lutheran Archives Center is one of a series of regional archives in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, covering the eastern third of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, upstate New York and New England. The collections include those of the oldest Lutheran archives in America, established by the Evangelical Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania in 1792. During the transition, researchers are advised to contact Curator John E. Peterson, regarding access to the collections: 7301 Germantown Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19119-1794; 215-248-6383 (Tuesday and Friday, 1:30 to 5 PM), FAX: 215-248-6327; E-mail: [email protected]

BOOK REVIEW
Galchutt, Kathryn M. The Career of Andrew Schulze, 1924-1968: Lutherans and Race in the Civil Rights Era. Macon, Georgia: Mercer University Press, 2005.
Reviewed by David E. Settje, Concordia University – River Forest
Kathryn Galchutt’s examination of Andrew Schulze’s career and the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod’s (LCMS) legacy with the civil rights movement contributes a superb examination of religious, social, and racial history in America. In the last few years, religious historians have wondered why “the Lutherans” often fail to provide a voice to the American religious history landscape. While Lutheran historians have answered this query with a number of justifiable reasons, not enough have answered with research that places Lutheranism into this bigger picture to demonstrate that, indeed, Lutherans have contributed to U.S. history. Thankfully, Galchutt gives one such answer. Lutheran historiography would do well to use this study as a model: Galchutt meticulously researched her topic, supplies a solid biography of this LCMS civil rights leader, gives the Lutheran perspective and history, and places all of this in the broader historical context of religion, race, and public discourse in America.
This book offers part biography, part general history of the LCMS and race in the twentieth century. Galchutt gives a solid account of Schulze’s career as a pioneer in LCMS race relations. She explains his early exposure to racial prejudice while attending Concordia Theological Seminary in Springfield, Illinois that moved him toward civil rights activism, his fight against those within his own church body who criticized his efforts to promote racial equality, his service to African-American congregations, and finally his work with the Lutheran Human Relations Association. While doing so, the narrative explains how the LCMS reacted to Schulze’s ministry and the national civil rights movement in both positive and negative ways. Where individuals or the church deserve credit for their actions, Galchutt champions it; but she also points out that the Lutheran heritage of abhorring conflict meant that many people tried to avoid conversations about race that would generate dissension and, at other times, that overt racism plagued the synod.
Galchutt’s ability to place her subject into the context of American history will also strike the reader. Rather than another insular look at Lutheranism that provides justification for their isolation and uniqueness, Galchutt describes the broader history of the period and then explains whether or not Lutherans fit the pattern. When she discusses the people who founded the LCMS and describes Schulze’s family history, she explains how this immigration pattern fit with other immigrants coming to America in the 1800s. She ably weaves into her discussion of civil rights an outline of the national civil rights movement and its affect on Schulze and the LCMS. For example, not only does she delineate the history of LCMS institutions and race, she also describes how national trends pushed the LCMS to react. Thus, the move in the 1960s by civil rights activists to fight against economic inequality in northern urban centers led the Northern Illinois District and LHC Newsletter, Vol. 43, No. 4 November 2005 6
Chicago Lutherans to respond with both outreach and antagonism. And Galchutt details how many Americans used communism as an excuse for battling the civil rights movement; then she provides evidence of Lutherans doing the same. Nor does she ignore other studies of white clergy participation in the civil rights movement. Rather, she places Schulze in the midst of these individuals who helped inspire other Americans to follow their lead.
Despite this book’s excellent contribution to scholarship, one must not look to it for a complete biography of Schulze. As Galchutt herself explains, Schulze never liked the spotlight to focus on him personally. He has avoided it even in his own biography. While Schulze’s public ministry, activism, and writings play a vital role in this tale of Lutherans and civil rights, it contains little about how this affected his personal life, how he dealt with the constant attacks from those who questioned him, or how this career choice affected his family. And Galchutt seldom criticizes the subject of her book.
Despite being left to ponder the person underneath the public minister who did so much for the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod and race relations, Galchutt’s book provides a superb history. With detailed research, wonderful contextual settings, and a firm grasp about LCMS history, Galchutt explores the life of an American Lutheran prophet in the twentieth century.
2004 INDEX of WRITINGS IN THE FIELD OF AMERICAN LUTHERANISM
