Act Now to Reserve a Copy August 23rd, 2011 No comments
In honor of the 200th anniversary of Dr. C.F.W. Walther’s birth, Concordia Publishing House is pleased to be the exclusive provider of a commemorative medallion. We are asking people to express their interest in receiving a copy by placing advance orders. We have to receive at least 200 orders to move forward on this project. So, if you are interested in having a keep-sake, limited edition commemorative medallion, please reserve a copy before September 1.
Place your reservation order here. Here is more information. Honor Walther’s Lasting Leadership This October will be the bicentennial celebration of one of the most influential leaders in the history of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, C.F.W. Walther. As the first president of our synod, Walther used his passion and outspoken nature to ensure that Lutherans in 19th century America remained faithful to the Scriptures and Lutheran Confessions. A beautiful reminder of Walther’s lasting leadership, this antique bronze medallion is now available for pre-order.
The front features a timeline of his accomplishments, while the back pays homage to his most popular work, The Proper Distinction Between Law and Gospel. This impressive 3″ medallion will make a striking statement on your desk or library shelf! This limited edition medallion requires a minimum order quantity be achieved by September 1, 2011. In the event this minimum order is not reached, your pre-order will be cancelled with no strings attached.

Does anyone recall this kind of a big deal for Loehe in 2008 for his 200th Birthday?

Looks like collectors can pair up the infamous Walther medallion with their Nazi-issued Luther Birthday 2 Reichsmark coins from 1937.
On another note, Washington DC was just hit by a 6.0 Richter scale earthquake the day after the Martin Luther King memorial was unveiled. The quake took the pinnacles off the Washington National Cathedral. This is fitting symbolism showing that the theological basis for the United States is crumbling now that King is honored on the Mall. King was a liberal in his theology and view of Scriptures, and believed in evolution, was a womanizer, and some claim he was a Marxist. His statue on the Washington Mall was made in China by a sculpture who made Chairman Mao statues!
Luther's 450 B-Day coin issued in 1933 by the Nazis:

I have heard and have read from a good number of LC_MS people how Walther is **their** HERO.
No wonder LC-MS pastors are becoming RC. If they are going to idol worship Walther, why not do idol worship on Mary since at least she is the mother of Jesus. Compared to Walther she has more clout.
The slide to RC practice of worshiping the saints is a lot easier then since they already had some practice doing this using Walther.

Oops. I meant 1933, Luther's 450th B-Day, not 1937. Kristallnacht fell on Luther's B-Day, on purpose I might add, but that was in 1938.
Good point, LPC. Perhaps this is the reason for a "harmless little lunch": http://steadfastlutherans.org/?p=15548
Narrow-minded,
I went over that page. The hobnobbing will happen because in Vatican II, universalism has its place in Mother Church. Since UOJers are virtually universalists, the sitting down and working together with RC is no cause for concern for the UOJers. No matter what people believe they are saved anyway so why fight people with anti-Biblical confession and teaching.
