By the grace of God, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod was blessed with the most outstanding Lutheran theologian of the 19th century as its first President.  Walther's works set the highest standards of Biblical scholarship in expounding:

1. The doctrine of Justification,
2. The proper distinction between preaching Law and Gospel,
3. Church and Ministry,
4. The Church Independent of the State,
5. The Priesthood of all Believers,
6. The Pastoral Office,
7. The Proper Administration of the Sacraments,
8. The authority of the Scriptures,
9. Pastoral theology and practice, and more.

Each speaker at the Conference will address the need to maintain correct doctrine and practice in the LCMS.

Each speaker is also invited to present resolutions that will help affirm
and maintain the teaching and practice of the Synod's first president at the2004 Convention of the LC-MS.
