The Rise of Integralism and Why Lutherans Should Resist It
No full textA movement known as “Integralism” has become increasingly popular across political and theological spectrums. Critiquing many of the philosophical commitments of constitutional democracies, with a sharp rebuke against individualism, pluralism and popular rule, “Integralism” longs for a polis and theology that are fused together, limiting the private nature of liberty embedded in most constitutional democracies. Although rooted in a history that has as its model an authoritarian Catholic state, contemporary “Integralists” represent a broader audience that increasingly attracts Christians outside the Roman communion. This sectional will broadly define the nature and scope of Integralism, highlighting why, even among Lutherans, it is a tempting philosophy in a world where the church’s place and voice are no longer valued. But despite its appeal, “Integralism” remains antithetical to Lutheran theology and will do little to create hope in our polarized world, which in turn begs the question, if not “Integralism,” then what
The Never Married: Developing a Vocabulary for and about Singleness
No full textThe 2022 census revealed that out of the current U.S. population, 34.1% of people over 15 years of age are classified as “never married.” This is a 7% increase from the beginning of the century. How does the church talk to and about this large portion of the current population? How do the Scriptures speak about the single life? How has the church spoken about the never-married through her history to the present day? This sectional will provide a beginning vocabulary of singleness for the church by answering these questions. A vocabulary that will enable the church and her ministers to faithfully witness to this portion of our country
One Vote Makes an Eternal Difference: How Lutherans Should View the 2024 Elections
No full textThe American liturgical calendar calls for another holy day of obligation in 2024, and, as always, the urgency of your sacred vote will be solicited round-the-clock given our 24-hour news cycle. Endorsements have already begun, it will only be a matter of time until the unsolicited “Christian voter guides” begin appearing, and between the pundits on television, and the pressures to join in the voices and topics of the elections from the pulpit, pastors had better be prepared. This sectional provides an alternative view for pastors to present to their parishioners to prepare them to faithfully engage our nation in a volatile time with the hope of a distinctly Lutheran outlook
The Star Spangled Reformer: Luther’s Two Realms and Christian Nationalism
No full textWhat most Lutherans confidently understand about Martin Luther’s doctrine of the two kingdoms is too often at odds with what the reformer actually taught. By coming to terms with Luther’s teaching we will also be in a good place to consider a faithful response to ideas of Christian nationalism
Herman Sasse: A Confessional Response to Sectarianism
No full textHermann Sasse (1895-1976), a German Lutheran theologian who spent the last decades of his life in Australia, is remembered for his staunch adherence to the Lutheran Confessions over and against theological liberalism and unionism in the 20th century. It was precisely his unflinching commitment to the Lutheran Confessions that prompted him to reject sectarian isolationism. Sasse has been described as a confessional ecumenist and an ecumenical confessionalist. This presentation will focus on Sasse’s understanding of the catholicity of the Lutheran Confessions and the responsibility that Lutherans have in joyfully making this confession to the whole church
