Concordia the Reformer Seminary and Mercy Center (CMSCR) in the Dominican Republic boasts a rigorous course of study with a practical, church-planting emphasis. Her international influence is perhaps most evident in the only theological symposium tailored to the needs of Spanish-speaking Lutheran theologians worldwide. 

Each spring, CMSCR invites sister Lutheran church body leadership, theologians and church workers to join her faculty, students and guests for the three-day event. The event has grown; attendance is now by invitation only to accommodate the burgeoning crowd of international visitors. 

The conference features a keynote address and numerous theological presentations related to the symposium’s theme and time for follow-up discussions. Additionally, worship and fellowship are part of the daily schedule. The goal is to encourage theological dialogue and further learning while fostering muchneeded relationships among the attendees. Connecting with an international brotherhood of Spanish-speaking Lutherans is a priceless gift, especially for those serving in remote areas. 

A similar conference for distance learning students has become an annual event each January. 

We pray this annual event will further educate, strengthen and encourage the walking together of our Spanish-speaking Lutheran pastors and church workers throughout the world.
