ACELC Conference — Christ For Us: The Divine Service

Found on ACELC.net, and included on the Lutheran Calendar which you can promote on your blogs:

Associate Editor’s Note:  The Banquet Speaker for this event is BJS’ own Editor Pr. Rossow.  Coming off of being roasted wholeheartedly at the BJS Conference by Pr. Wolfmueller, one might wonder what awaits ACELC attendees while they try to enjoy a meal.  I will also be attending the conference and may be helping in the discussion also.

CHRIST FOR US: The Divine Service”

Hosted by the Association of Confessing Evangelical Lutheran Congregations? (ACELC)

What: This Conference is designed to address doctrinal and practical issues in the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. It is a “working” conference that includes both presentations for doctrinal study and group discussion to engage in “what does this mean” in our ministry and worship. Our “Foundation” speaker will lay down the essential questions in dealing with and discussing the theology and practice of Lutheran worship. Our three Core speakers will cover the spectrum of worship now being conducted in the LCMS – Contemporary, Traditional, and High Church. And our “Pinnacle” speaker will speak to a “Concordist” position on Lutheran Worship. A series of Table Talk discussions will broaden the discussion in an effort to identify areas of agreement, areas of true Christian liberty, and problem areas for Biblical resolution. It is our hope to begin a dialogue that will result in a clear confession of Lutheran Worship for today, and how to do it well and with much clarity and devotion. The Conference also includes the annual business meeting of the ACELC congregations.
