New Confessional Lutheran School In Need Of Books for Library
The Institute of Lutheran Theology (http://www.instituteoflutherantheology.org/) is an independent confessional Lutheran School that seeks to reach Lutheran congregations and pastors beyond the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. While it is an independent school, it does have on its Board two LCMS Educators: Dr. Uwe Siemon-Netto, Director of the Center for Lutheran Theology and Public Life at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, and the Rev. Dr. J.A.O. Preus III, President of Concordia University – Irvine. Another LCMS Educator, the Rev. Dr. Charles Manske, founder and first president of Concordia University – Irvine, is a consultant for the school. The school is in need of Theological books in order to build a working library for professors and students. A plea is being sent out to all Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod pastors to consider donating books from their libraries that could be of use to the school. Retired pastors are being asked if they might consider donating much of, or even their entire libraries, to the school. The Institute is willing to help make arrangements for shipping costs, and in the case of large donations, to arrange for picking up the books from the donor. Donors should not worry about possibly duplicating books since duplicate books can always be used in the Institute's various Designating Teaching Centersacross the country, or sold to help raise money for more books. Donating books is one way, we as clergy in the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, can help fellow confessional Lutherans make an impact on the various Lutheran and Christian groups in North America.
