Annual themes are related to the anniversary of these documents or events in the church's life to which these documents spoke. 1980 was the 450th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession and 1981 the same anniversary for the Apology. Presenters have come from all over the world and include clergy from all the major Lutheran synods and the Roman, Eastern Orthodox and Reformed communions. Panels of the presenters have concluded most of the symposia. Guests have participated with spoken and written questions.
Several opportunities exist for worship during the symposia.
We hope you will find this year's symposia series to be an enlightening, as well as enjoyable, experience.
