Convention splits Lutherans threaten unity at Missouri Synod
The 2001 Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod convention faces a split between conservatives and moderates within roughly one third of American Lutherans. The Conservative faction supports literal biblical interpretation and centralized authority while the Evangelical Coalition favors contextual scripture and flexibility. Election of a synod president looms as the test, with four candidates nominated and potential backing for Oswald Hoffman if he runs.
