Strife-Torn Lutherans Seek Moderate Leader Amid Schism Talks
A New York driven drive to unseat Rev. Dr. J. A. O. Preus as president of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod has emerged among moderates. They back Rev. Dr. Oswald C. J. Hoffmann and Rev. Dr. August Bernthal as potential leaders to avert a schism, amid charges of doctrinal deviation by Concordia Seminary. The debate centers on biblical authority, original sin, and the Confessions, with a July 1973 convention in New Orleans expected to decide the result.
