Walther Round Table

The Walther Round Table is an annual gathering of scholars and students interested in the life and work of C. F. W. Walther. It originated through the efforts of the Institute director, Dr. August R. Suelflow, in 1989 in connection with his research for his biography of Walther.

Objectives

1. To develop a deeper understanding of the life and work of C. F. W. Walther;
2. To gain a new understanding of Walther's theology as a biblical-confessional theologian and its special relevance for today;
3. To enlarge the circle of Walther scholars and students (Walther Kenner) for their theological growth as well as for that of the entire Lutheran Church in America;
4. To overcome some of the misconceptions about Walther and to present correctives;
5. To cultivate a deeper appreciation for the heritage of the church body to which we belong;
6. To give all glory to God in Christ for His great revelation of the Gospel and to proclaim (believe, teach and confess) this to each new generation.
