Lutheran Group Plays Unwitting Role in White Manifesto Clash
In Denver the conservative Lutheran Church Missouri Synod served as an unwitting sounding board for a white manifesto backed by outside clergy and a Lutheran minister. The Rev Malcolm Boyd and collaborators urged a surface movement to reform denominations into local communities that aid minorities and oppose the Vietnam War. The convention saw tension as Boyd’s group promoted a manifesto while other worshippers followed standard services, and synod president-elect Dr Jacob Preus won in an upset over incumbent Dr Oliver Harms, signaling a conservative shift.
