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.

Download or read book Lutherans in America written by and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Lutherans in America is one of mutual influence. From the first small groups of Lutherans to arrive in the colonies, to the large immigrations to the rich heartland of a growing nation, Lutherans have influenced, and been influenced by, America. In this lively and engaging new history, Granquist brings to light not only the varied and fascinating institutions that Lutherans founded and sustained but the people that lived within them. The result is a generous, human history that tells a complete story—not only about politics and policies but also the piety and the practical experiences of the Lutheran men and women who lived and worked in the American context. Bringing the story all the way to the present day and complemented with new charts, maps, images, and sidebars, Granquist ably covers the full range of Lutheran expressions, bringing order and clarity to a complex and vibrant tradition.
