The annual Multiethnic Symposium hosted by Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, brings together missional leaders including pastors, congregational leaders, theologians and others from across The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) and beyond to explore what it will take to become a truly multiethnic church that embodies more fully a catholic, universal, global identity, especially in the United States.

The 2021 Multiethnic Symposium will address what the Global South can contribute to our thinking about practices such as preaching and teaching, worship and the arts, and evangelism and social engagement.

Factors like unprecedented global migration and increasing birth rates have made the documented growth of Global South Christianity not only a distant reality there but also a present-day reality in the United States. What can the church in the modern West, preoccupied with the rise of cultural realities such as secularism and nihilism, learn from the church in the Global South?

The symposium will gather a group of voices, including prominent scholars and practitioners from the Global South, to reflect on these questions.
