Description
To ask the LCMS the question, “Do we really believe in the Catholic church?” there could be something more than a simple yes or no answer. The doctrinal answer is certainly a resounding yes. In practice? Not so much. This presentation will explore several realities and one great challenge. The first reality is America’s population trends. A second reality is the Lutheran doctrine of the church’s catholicity. And the great challenge for the LCMS, in particular, is that of applying the truth that the church is catholic to the people of our world today and tomorrow.
