As part of this year’s celebrations of the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation, Concordia will hold a conference exploring the Reformation’s impact on parish life. “The Reformation of Worship and Preaching” will feature Rev. Dr Jobst Schöne, bishop emeritus of the Independent Evangelical Lutheran Church of Germany (SELK) and Rev. Fredrik Sidenvall, Principal at L. M. Engströms Gymnasium, Lutheran High School, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The conference will begin after the seminary’s opening service, Sunday, 10 September 2017, 4pm. Dr Schöne will open with a keynote address Sunday evening entitled “Luther without Myths”. On Monday, 11 September, Dr Schöne will continue with Luther’s reform of Christian worship, highlighting the impact of the Gospel.
Rev. Sidenvall will extend the theme to encompass preaching. What was the practical impact of the Reformation on what the people heard from the pulpit? Further Reformation topics will be presented by the home team.
