History of the LCMS Ep. 8: Introducing The German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States

We've come to the creation of The German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States in the first convention in Chicago in 1847. What happened at this convention, and who made up the first Synod? What institutions joined the Synod? Who was the first missionary, and where did he serve? Hear these things and a bit of trivia about the church where this first convention was held. Rev. Dr. Cameron A. MacKenzie, Professor of Historical Theology at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana, joins Andy and Sarah for our nine-episode series on the History of the LCMS.
