Congress on the Lutheran Confessions - 2011

The Congress on the Lutheran Confessions takes place annually and is cosponsored by the Luther Academy and the Association of Confessional Lutherans. The Congress addresses issues of current interest to Confessional Lutherans and invites speakers to focus on various aspects of the chosen topic. The presentations are intended for both pastors and laypeople. Lutherans of all church bodies and any other interested parties are invited to register and attend the conference. After the Congress has concluded, the presentations made are edited and made available for purchase to the public in book form. Usually the Congress meets the first or second week after Easter in a large metropolitan area. In 2011 the Congress will meet in Bloomington, Minnesota May 4-6. The topic will be The Word They Still Shall Let Remain and will focus on the doctrine of Holy Scripture. For the Congress schedule please click the "next" button on the bottom of this page.

Pieper Lectures

In honor of the fourth president of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, Dr. Francis Pieper, Luther Academy and Concordia Historical Institute collaborate each year to host the Pieper Lectures. These two organizations bring in various Lutheran scholars to speak on a particular topic chosen for the annual Conference. The lectures are always presented from the view of historical theology but with the intent of applying the lessons of history to the life of the church today. These lectures can be obtained either by becoming a Luther Academy member or by purchasing them from Luther Academy’s Financial Secretary: Janette Schanbacher, 2121 Cedar Hill Road, Jefferson City, MO, 65109; This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
