Project ID:  LM0002-65013 

The Luther Academy mission statement is as follows: Luther Academy promotes genuine, confessional Lutheran theology and research through conferences, scholarly exchanges, and publications that assist the Church both to preserve and to proclaim to the world the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the only saving faith.

In Latin America, Luther Academy levels a playing field in which pastoral formation varies. Scholarships enable pastors with limited resources to enrich their theological education. Seasoned pastors or seminary professors lead discussions at these seminars that focus on timely theological topics of interest and importance to the group. Each conference is designed to meet the needs of the pastors as they strive to be faithful to the Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions. This year, coinciding with the rollout of the new Spanish Lutheran hymnal, Luther Academy is providing numerous conferences around the region to teach about the hymnal and its use in worship and the home.

Rev. Carlos Schumann heads up Luther Academy in Latin America. As an Argentinian, he well knows the challenges faced by church leaders in the region. Pastors often serve three or more congregations while living far from the nearest pastor. These conferences provide not only theological education but also a much-needed opportunity for fellowship.
