Have you ever visited Latin or South America, and while you were there wanted to find a Lutheran

Church in which you could worship and receive the Lord's Supper?

Did you know that the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, has many partner churches in Latin

and South America?

In the May issue of the Lutheran Witness, we walk you through a brief history of our partners

in the region.

We're kind of in an era, theological era, where the church is a big subject of discussion.

You can go to a Christian book store and you can find a whole section on the church, on

what the church is, how to grow the church, a healthy church, an unhealthy church, dying

churches, churches of the future.

It's a big subject now, but we didn't start talking about the church in the 20th and

21st century.

It's actually been a subject well for all of Christian history, and especially during

the Reformation.

Welcome back to Issues, et cetera.

I'm Todd Wilkin.

We're going to join a conversation on the marks of the church.

Dr. Jonathan Mummy will be your guest.

He's Associate Professor of Theology at Hillsdale College, and he's author of a column for

the Luther Witness magazine titled Marks of the Church, Biblical Foundations.
