The 2024 Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary (WLS) Fall Symposium will convene under the theme: Lutheran Worship Turns 500. With the publication of the Achtliederbuch (1524), the first Lutheran hymnal was born. In the five hundred years that have followed, the vital role of worship in the Lutheran church has been evident from generation to generation. The upcoming symposium will provide an opportunity to revisit the foundational principles of Lutheran worship as well as grow in our understanding of and appreciation for what Lutheran worship has to offer in today’s varied contexts of ministry.
The symposium will begin in the WLS campus auditorium at 1:10 p.m. on Monday, September 16, and will conclude on Tuesday, September 17, no later than 12:30 p.m. In addition to the three essays, the agenda will include opportunities for discussion and a closing worship service.
Registration for the annual symposium is now open until September 1.
