Lutheran Witness: October 2009

We cover a lot of ground in this issue of The Lutheran Witness, from an overview of the current work of LCMS World Mission to stories about “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” Martin Luther’s most famous hymn; Wittenberg in the age of Luther; and our Synod’s efforts today in that city. Online this month at lcms.org/witness, you can find links to Reporter summaries of this year’s 35 LCMS district conventions and to the latest news from the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Synod Structure and Governance, which is considering how best we in the LCMS can carry out our work together.
