March 1870 - St. Louis

After more than a decade of intersynodical strife, the Wisconsin and Missouri Synods declared each other orthodox Lutherans in October 1868 and soon agreed to share the work of pastoral training. Wisconsin Synod pastors would now receive their seminary training at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, beginning in March 1870. In 1872 the two synods, along with four others, would establish the Synodical Conference in order to further joint work among confessional Lutherans in the American Midwest.
