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 much- needed 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.
