"Next to God, it is Pastor Loehe to whom our Synod is indebted for its happy beginning and rapid growth in which it rejoices; it may well honor him as its spiritual father. It would fill the pages of an entire book to recount even briefly what for many years this man, with tireless zeal in the noblest unselfish spirit, has done for our Lutheran Church and our Synod in particular."

Note: This piece was from the old Gottesdienst Online from its first year, 2008 (December 30).  The original blogpost has inexplicably vanished.  However, thankfully, it was reproduced here.

After 25 years of publishing, the editors met for a first ever retreat.  It was a time of not only meditation upon our Lord and His Gospel (with, of course, the prayer offices anchoring our time in the Word of God and worship of the Most Holy Trinity), but also reflection on our purpose, with the intent of strategic planning.
