The Missionary Sphit in the Augustana Church George F. Hall \ THE MISSIONARY SPIRIT IN THE AUGUSTANA CHURCH The American church is made up of many varied groups, depending on origin, divisions, changing relationships. One of these was the Augustana Lutheran Church, founded by Swedish Lutheran immigrants and maintain­ ing an independent existence from 1860 to 1962 when it became a part of a larger Lutheran community, the Lutheran Church of America. The character of the Augustana Church can be studied from different viewpoints. In this volume Dr. George Hall describes it as a missionary church. It was born out of a missionary concern in Sweden for the thousands who had emigrated. As soon as it was formed it began to widen its field. Then its representatives were found in In­ dia, Puerto Rico, in China. The horizons grew to include Africa and Southwest Asia. Two World Wars created havoc, but also national and international agencies.

  • The 7 International Seminar Took Place from February 24 Until March
    The 7th International Seminar took place from February 24th until March 9th, 2013. Theme: "Reading the Bible contextually through Luther's lenses". Teachers: Prof. Dr. Karl-Wilhelm Niebuhr, Jena, Germany, Dr. Kenneth Mtata, Zimbabwe LWF Study Secretary for Theology in the Department for Theology and Public Witness, and Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Großhans, Münster, Germany Here are the statements of participants: Dr. Russell Vardell, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Northern Texas – Northern Louisiana Mission Area: Surrounded by the spirit of Luther and the churches of Luther in both ancient stone and in the living testimony of leaders from around the world, I have learned more about both our historical heritage and our mission in the world today. Our continued call to bring the Scriptures into diverse global contexts was enhanced by this experience. Thanks be to God! Gunilla Aquilon Elmquist, Church of Sweden, Lund Stift: These two weeks as part of the 7th Luther Seminar have been a great experience for me. Meeting people from so many different parts of the world and discovering that, even though we come from very different contexts, we nonetheless have so much in common. This has also led me to see my own church in a totally new perspective, yet part of the whole of the Lutheran family. I feel so re-energized for ministry, and cannot wait to go home to share all my new experiences and understanding of what it’s like to be a Lutheran in today’s global context. Meega Johnsundram, India Evangelical Lutheran Church: What my forefathers could not see for the past three generations, the Lord helped me to see and witness the great Reformation history seeded in Wittenberg.

  • A Gallery of Portraits: Lwf General Secretaries Since 1947
    From the LWF Institutional Memory DPO/Archive services lutheranworld.org A GALLERY OF PORTRAITS: LWF GENERAL SECRETARIES SINCE 1947 1. Sylvester Michelfelder Country of origin: New Washington, Ohio, USA Date of birth: 27.10.1889 Date of death: 30.12.1951 Period of mandate: 1947-1951 Short biography: From German descent, Michelfelder was not an academic theologian. It was his skill as pastor, organizer and team leader that caused Ralph Long, director of the National Lutheran Council in New York to send him as commissioner of the American Section of the Lutheran World Convention to the rising World Council of Churches. On 18 July 1945, he arrived with his wife in Geneva after having crossed the ocean on the Miraposa and travelled by rail from Cherbourg which gave him ample evidence of emergency needs in Europe. Operations in Germany in the early post-war period was the first task of Michelfelder with led into close ties of confidence and networks of cooperation with German church leaders such as Hanns Lilje and Hans Meiser. His major accomplishment became then the careful preparation of the first Assembly of the LWF which represented international interaction between sisters and brothers of the same faith. Michelfelder had clear ideas for an Assembly with a three-part program: confessing the truth in a confused world, concentrated on the Word, the church and the sacraments, a section on evangelism, stewardship, foreign missions and aid operation and a final section on facing the problems in a troubled world. His abilities as an administrator became apparent particularly in two connections: when he prepared and led the First Assembly and when he led in the formation of a functional structure for the whole LWF, the Geneva Secretariat and the national committees.

  • Global Mission Updates
    Global Mission Updates Winter/Spring 2019 Dear Friends of ELCA Global Mission, “Who knows? Perhaps you have come to royal dignity for just such a time as this” (Esther 4:14b). Esther’s life changed quickly. This young Israelite girl found herself living in the king’s palace, along with other teenagers competing to become queen. Esther was chosen. What a change, from the streets of Susa to the royal palace! Life was indeed good for Esther, but all the comfort and luxury could come to an end. Her adoptive father, Mordecai, challenged her to plead the case of the Jews before the king. Esther faced a difficult situation. No one could come before the king without an audience, doing so would result in death. Mordecai challenged Esther: You were given this gift — use it! Like Esther, we all have been gifted by God. These gifts are not our own possessions but tools for building up the body of Christ and engaging in God’s mission to restore community. Our world cries with deep sighs, lifting up the eyes to the hills, wondering, “where will my help come?” (Psalm 121:1). We have been gifted with the Spirit for just such a time as this, doing God’s work with our hands. This edition of Global Mission Updates provides a panoramic view of how our gifts and talents touch the lives of peoples from around the globe. I hope that, through these stories, God will touch your hearts and fill them with the burning fire of the Spirit, so that you too will become part of this great missional journey.
