C. F. W. Walther - Music
This October, Concordia Publishing House, as the official publishing arm of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of Dr. C. F. W. Walther (1811 - 2011), one of the most influential leaders in the church body's history. Walther's unwavering dedication to the Holy Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions made him a vital leader in shaping the early church, which now consists of more than 2.3 million baptized members and 6,200 congregations. As his publisher, CPH is proud to take part in this year's bicentennial celebration to preserve his legacy, celebrate his struggles and honor the sacrifices made by him and so many early Lutherans that by God's grace grew into a church founded on scripture alone.
