1914 - 1914

An English Publication

The first issue of The Northwestern Lutheran is published in January 1914. After years of only producing materials in German, the synod felt it was time for an English publication. A resolution was passed at the 1913 synod convention calling for the publication of resources in English. A key editor and author in getting The Northwestern Lutheran started is John W. O, Brenner who begins editing the publication from his parsonage study while pastor at St. John’s in downtown Milwaukee. The Northwestern Lutheran lives on today as Forward in Christ.
