Symposium Reformation Across Borders SPEAKERS MULTIETHNIC SYMPOSIUM REFORMATION ACROSS BORDERS CONCORDIA SEMINARY, ST. LOUIS | JAN. 24-25, 2017 KEYNOTE ADDRESS Quincentennial Celebration: The Paradigm Shift of Martin Luther Then and Ours Now Dr. Enoch Wan Research Professor of Intercultural Studies, and Director, Doctor of Intercultural Studies Program Western Seminary, Portland, Ore. Biography • Past President of the Evangelical Missiological Society (EMS): www.EMSweb.org • National vice president-publications and editor, Occasional Bulletin, Evangelical Missiological Society • Advisor/founder/editor - multilingual electronic journal: www.GlobalMissiology.org • Board member, Worldwide Bible Society (USA) and Tien Dao Christian Media Association Abstract Historical review of the paradigm shift of Martin Luther occurred 500 years ago, followed by a proposal for the Lutheran church bodies in North America in the 21st century based on the global trends (i.e. the shift of Christendom from the western and northern hemispheres, the phenomenon of diaspora, the technological advancement in communication, the rise of post-modernism epistemology, the emergence of the global south, etc.) leading to the embrace of new paradigms (e.g. diaspora missiology, multiethnic ecclesiology, relational realism, etc.). 801 SEMINARY PLACE • ST. LOUIS, MO 63105 • WWW.CSL.EDU • 314-505-7286 • [email protected] 1 SPEAKERS KEYNOTE ADDRESS: RESPONDER Dr. Paul Mueller Director of the Art & Carol Wahlers Center for Applied Lutheran Leadership, Office of the President, Concordia University, Portland, Ore. Biography Dr. Paul Mueller serves as the executive director of the Center for Applied Lutheran Leadership (CALL), which develops young and old Christian missional leaders in and for the mission of God in a COEXIST world. In addition, he directs the Mission Training Center (MTC), which offers noncredit practical, missional courses for lay women and men, deacons and those preparing for seminary entrance. Mueller served 12 years as the mission’s professor at Concordia University, St. Paul, Minn., and directed the Oswald Hoffmann School of Christian Outreach on campus. He also served as associate executive director for LINC-Twin Cities, vacancy pastor and one of three pastors in a large Lutheran congregation. His international experience connected him with the LCMS Office of International Mission for more than 10 years. Much that time was spent as a local missionary in Liberia, West Africa, but also as one of four regional directors where his responsibility was for the LCMS work in Africa. He has since taught short-term mission courses in many parts of the world. Mueller received a Master of Divinity from Concordia Seminary, a Master of Theology in Missiology from Fuller’s School of World Mission and a Ph.D. in Missiology from Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind. He and his wife of almost 39 years, Joy, have three children and three grandchildren. Abstract Both missionary ministry and academic studies help identify barriers as well as bridges as cultures begin to live side-by-side. There are notable organizational as well as cultural and heart barriers that hinder robust partnerships between ethnic groups in the United States and established faith communities with whom connections are made. Some of these may be easily resolved. Others present significant challenges and subsequently require significant change. 801 SEMINARY PLACE • ST.

Rob Kieselowsky Executive Director of Philadelphia Lutheran Ministries, Philadelphia, Pa. Biography Rev. Robert Kieselowsky serves Philadelphia Lutheran Ministries as executive director and as lead pastor for Logos Lutheran, a new church plant in the heart of Philadelphia. He earned a bachelor’s degree in biblical studies from Philadelphia College of Bible, which included studies abroad in Israel. He and his wife, Allison, moved to Fairfax, Va., in 2002 to teach at Trinity Christian School together. Kieselowsky earned his Master of Education from the University of Virginia. Following several years of teaching theology and history, he enrolled at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind., and received a Master of Divinity in 2011. He served at Immanuel Lutheran Church and School, Alexandria, Va., as assistant pastor and headmaster before accepting a call to Philadelphia. Kieselowsky and his wife are blessed with four girls, who are the joys of their lives. His interests include the study of theology and church history, following his favorite football and baseball teams, travel and the great outdoors of Pennsylvania, the land of his youth. Abstract The immigrant experience in the United States is varied and complex. Powerful forces all around us align against our youth, especially the children of immigrants that drive them to despair and unbelief. We need to identify the threats to our youth as they receive and live out the faith given to them, developing steps to ensure they are given the pure truth that sets them free. The Lutheran Reformation is a tremendous treasure that helps point the way forward. 801 SEMINARY PLACE • ST.

Ruben Dominguez Pastor, El Buen Pastor Lutheran Church, McAllen, Texas Biography The immigrant experience in the United States is varied and complex. Powerful forces all around us align against our youth, especially the children of immigrants that drive them to despair and unbelief. We need to identify the threats to our youth as they receive and live out the faith given to them, developing steps to ensure they are given the pure truth that sets them free. The Lutheran Reformation is a tremendous treasure that helps point the way forward. Biografía Rev. Rubén Domínguez nació en México. Se graduó del Seminario Luterano Augsburgo en la Ciudad de México e hizo estudios posgrados en los Estados Unidos. Enseñó en los años 90 en el Instituto Hispano de Teología del Seminario Concordia, ahora con el nombre del Centro de Estudios Hispanos. Desde el año 2009, sirve en una congregación Hispana en McAllen, Texas, no muy distante de la frontera con México. Abstract The Reformation message, with missional tools, spread throughout Europe, impacting and freeing its people. Spain, the country from which Hispanics originally came, also was influenced, though the followers were few. The Gospel, the central message of the Reformation, will impact Hispanics in North America today and tomorrow, with its stimulating, liberating and life-giving message. Descripción El mensaje de la Reforma se extendió con herramientas misionales a traves de Europa impactando y liberando a pueblos. España, el pais madre de los Hispanos, también fue impactado, aunque sus seguidores fueron restringidos. El evangelio, que fue el mensaje de la Reforma, puede hoy y mañana seguir impactando a los Hispanos de Norteamérica con su mensaje estimulador, liberador y vivificante. 801 SEMINARY PLACE • ST.

Terrence Chan Pastor/Lead Missionary, Christ for All Nations Lutheran Church, San Francisco, Ca. Biography Rev. Terrence “Terry” Chan began service in the LCMS as a Director of Christian Education (DCE) before graduating from Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind. His ministry experiences include serving as the pastor of the largest Chinese LCMS congregation in the United States, planting a new church as a missionary in the LCMS English District and merging two congregations into one ministry in the LCMS California-Nevada-Hawaii District. He is the founder of the Peninsula Asian Mission Society (PAMS) in California and the founder and convener of the national LCMS Chinese Ministry Conference (now known as CLiMB – Chinese Lutherans in Mission Building). Chan also served from 1991-2001 as national field counselor for Chinese Ministry for North America Missions, LCMS World Mission, and from 2001-04 as board member on the LCMS Board for Mission Services, LCMS World Mission. He is currently serving as pastor and lead missionary at Christ for All Nations Lutheran Church, a multicultural, multigenerational, multilingual congregation in San Francisco. Chan’s family has lived in the United States since 1869, although he was born in Hong Kong. Thus, Chan is both a fifth-generation and a first-generation Asian-American. He is married to Christine and together they have five children. Chan is enthusiastic about developing a multicultural, Pan Asian American Mission Network. Abstract We are living in a diversely changing United States where there has been tremendous natural growth in the Asian-American population especially on the West Coast of the Pacific Rim. The question and the challenge for the established church is: “What can we do to intentionally, strategically and urgently reach and disciple these English-speaking, second generation, Pan Asian-American people within the North American border of the Pacific Rim so that we might ultimately reach the new emerging diverse American people and beyond for Jesus Christ?” This question is both a challenge and a mission and discipleship opportunity. 801 SEMINARY PLACE • ST.

He received his Ph.D. in missiology from Concordia Theology Seminary in Fort Wayne, Ind. The title of his dissertation is “Global Nomads: The Identity and Assimilation of 1.5 and 2nd Generation Ethiopians in the United States.” He is currently pastoring a newly planted Ethiopian church in San Francisco.

  • Progress with Diversity 1971-1993
    Chapter Six Progress with Diversity 1971-1993 Seventy-six years after its founding, Concordia College was searching for only its fourth president. Procedures for selecting a president in synodical institutions had changed significantly since Concordia last elected a president. A faculty-selected presidential election com­ mittee of one person from each academic division is charged with gathering biographical information and professional evaluations on all candidates nominated for the presidency. The committee makes a comparative analysis of the nominees and chooses the final slate of candidates to submit to the electors for their vote. Although pro­ cedural variations are possible, this was the technique used to choose Concordia's fourth through eighth presidents. Presidential elections are determined by representatives from the four jurisdictions of the institution. They are the president of the Missouri Synod, the President of the synodical district in which the institution is located, the chairman of the Board for Higher Education, and the members of the Board of Control (the name was changed to the Board of Regents in 1981) as a group with one vote. If necessary, any one of the first three electors may have his official representative vote in his place in the election. The individuals then serving in these positions comprised the electors who assembled at Concordia College on January 25, 1971. The electors considered a final slate of candidates recommended from the 93 initial nominees. Chosen as president-elect was the Reverend Harvey A Stegemoeller, a 41-year old associate professor of history and political science at Concordia Senior College in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
