This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the United States IF the principle be correct that the biography of a man cannot be properly written Without tracing his ancestry and examining the influences that have contributed, long before his birth, to the formation of his character, it is no less true that the past history and the present condition Of the various Christian denominations of America cannot be rightly understood unless we recur to their sources in Europe and analyze the individual factors that have eu tered into their life before they reached this country. AS no communion can be absolutely sundered from its past history, the historical standpoint must always be the basis of all enduring practical work. We cannot deal success fully with men unless we know who they are, and whence they came, and What they mean. The historical ante cedents and relations and development must be appreciated and recognized before any results can be expected from the kindly feeling and earnest efforts of even the warmest advocates of Christian union. A candid and discriminating View of its precise historical situation on the part Of those upon Whom rests the responsibility for leadership is an indispensable prerequisite to all progress Within a Church. Even where there are the best Of reasons for abandoning, in some directions, the past development, it must be done intelligently, or far more may be lost than is gained. The Lutheran Church in America cannot be understood, there fore, without an acquaintance with the Lutheran Church in the centers from which it has originated. The history Of the Lutheran Church in America actually begins with the Reformation. Lutheranism is a specific form of Christian life. The propriety Of the name as a designation of that form Of life is not for us to determine. Apart from our willingness or unwillingness to assume it, it has become a fixed term for a definite and well-known object. AS religion is not mere intellectualism, or mere sentiment, or mere activity, SO Lutheranism, as a form of the only true religion, Christian ity, is far more than a system of doctrines, or a mode Of worship, or a form of Church organization. The Spirit Of a church is always greater and deeper than its expression; its faith is always greater than its confession. Lutheran ism is a mode Of viewing and receiving and living the truths of Christianity; or rather of viewing and receiving and living in mystical union with Him Who is the begin ning and end of all these truths. The peculiarities which mark its relation to Christ determine peculiarities With respect to other Objects. The principles underlying the doctrinal position reappear in the Spheres Of ethics and liturgics, of homiletics and church government. Even the faith Of a great sculptor or a great musical composer will express itself in a different way according to the peculiar ities of the confession by which his religious life has been nourished and trained. Everything that enters into the religious life, or that proceeds from it, is molded and C01 ored by the specific form which that life assumes.

This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Messiah's Evangelical Lutheran Church, South Williamsport, Penna But even as the country had been rent by cleavage a few years before, so was history repeating itself in the growth of Lutheranism in the lumber town north of the river. In the Mother church on Market Street, the germ of dissension had been developing among its members, with brother pitted against brother, neighbor against neighbor, and friend against friend, but always more in the spirit of sorrow than of anger. The more conservative members of the church, quietly schooled in orthodox ritual and liturgy, viewed with heartfelt distress the sympathy of other members of the church with an informality of service contrary to the accustomed practices of St. Mark's. Good people, tried and true, on either side of the controversy, suffered grief and humiliation from this division of spirit. They saw only disaster for the church in its future development, but strangely enough the cleavage proved to be a healthy one that gave birth to a forward movement of Lutheranism in the community. Six short years after the war, a group of young men just entering business and professional life, with little money in their purses but vigorously endowed with energy and talents, left the Mother church to establish another Lutheran church in the community, St. Paul's. This new organization fulfilled a deep-seated need in a town where every newsmokestack that nosed its way skyward brought an influx of settlers. The Lutheran churches of Williamsport were meeting the demands of a reconstruction era, for differ though they would in matters of ritual, they were still united by one faith and by one God, and they were not content to lie in inglorious ease, unresponsive to the needs of their community for a living God. Out of much the same staunch divergence of spirit was born Messiah's Lutheran Church on the south banks of the river, unheralded and unsung, for search as we may in the yellowed, brittle pages of the early newspapers for some record of its birth, we find only an oppressive volume of silence. Out of such families as the Weisses, the Lutchers, the Weigels, the Rickarts, the Jarretts, the Aults, and the Turks, who at one time were the representative families of St. Mark's, our church received its early impetus. Many of these families were early settlers in the plateau on the south bank of the river, known among early explorers as Lower Bottom to distinguish it from Upper Bottom across from Linden. Even as they hewed rocks from their cellars the size of mountain boulders, and grimly moulded for themselves a village appropriately called Rocktown, we like to believe that the same pioneer steadfastness that fashioned a community out of stone, founded a church out of the same unyielding faith.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from After Fifty Years: Or an Historical Sketch of the Guntur Mission of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the General Synod in the United States of America In the year 1892, when the celebration of the Jubilee of the Mission was first spoken of, it was determined that one feature of the celebration was to be the publication of an Historical Sketch of the Mission. The task was assigned to the author of this book. It is hardly necessary to state that the work should long ere this have been done, but it is only fair to say that the delay was such as could not be avoided. Effort of this sort, in addition to the claims of a busy missionary life, becomes no slight burden, though in the author's case it was one in which he has had sincere satisfaction. The book aims to give its historical information from first sources, and from the personal experience of over a decade in the field. All foreign terms have as far as possible been avoided, and the spelling of all proper names has not been loaded down with the diacritical points of the scholar, as it is pretty fully recognized that only a residence in the land will enable one to acquire a correct pronunciation of Indian names.

Download or read book The Telugu Mission written by George Drach and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Telugu Mission: Of the General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America; Containing a Biography of the Rev. Christian Frederick Heyer, M. D At the sixth convention of the General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America, held at Akron, Ohio, November 7-13, 1872, a resolution was adopted instructing the Executive Committee of the Pennsylvania Ministerium, which was then entrusted with the administration of the foreign mission work of the General Council, to request the Rev. C. F. Heyer "to prepare for publication a history of his mission work in India and of the Missions there, with which he had been connected." The founder of the American Evangelical Lutheran Missions in India made an effort to comply with this request and began to copy and compile some of the letters which he had written from India to various correspondents in America; but even the task of copying what he had composed in the strength and vigor of his manhood was more than the pioneer, at the advanced age of eighty years, could accomplish; and before he had proceeded very far, the angel of death called him to his eternal reward. Since the death of Dr. Heyer much has been written about him, but no serious effort has been made, so far as we know, to write a full and complete biography of this remarkable man who was not only the first foreign missionary of the Lutheran Church in America, but who, also, in other spheres of service as a minister of the Church and a preacher of the Gospel, as a home missionary, as a pastor of congregations in Pennsylvania and Maryland, as an officer in a number of synods, as a leader in several important movements in our Church in his day, and as one of the founders of the General Council, proved himself to be a man of unusual ability, great initiative, indefatigable activity, strong faith and true piety. What Dr. Heyer in the feebleness of old age was unable to do, we have attempted to do in the following pages.
