My radical Luther Seminary to sell all its buildings

(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and X - here.)

Many years ago, I graduated from Luther Seminary, a seminary of the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. When I graduated, Luther was moderate to liberal. Today it is radical. Luther has brought in transgender preachers at chapel. Luther held a pagan Native American smudging ceremony during chapel. Chapel services have featured womanist/feminist preachers with periodic prayers to “God the Mother.”

In a previous post, I explained that due to shrinking attendance and finances, a few years ago Luther had to sell off half of its seminary buildings. Did Luther Seminary learn from this? No, two years ago Luther hired a "queer theologian".

Please take a look at today’s announcement from Luther below. Luther is now having to sell all of its seminary buildings, downsize and relocate.

This is tragic. I think of the godly Lutherans who founded Luther Seminary in 1892 and how aghast they would be to see what it has become. I cannot help but think of the verse from Revelation 2:5, “If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. Therefore, remember, from where have fallen and repent, and do the deeds you did it first. Or else I am coming to you, and I will remove your lampstand from his place, unless you repent” (Revelation 2:5).

In the providence of God, I think it is best that seminaries like this close. And many liberal seminaries of the ELCA Lutheran, United Church of Christ, Presbyterian Church USA, Episcopal and United Methodist seminaries are shrinking and closing. If a seminary is promoting unbiblical teaching, it is probably best for the Kingdom that it closes.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock
