Augsburg Lutheran Fall Gathering
Paulson to Address 2024 Augsburg Lutheran Churches Fall Gathering Conference
You are invited to participate in the annual gathering of the Augsburg Lutheran Churches at the Use of the Law Conference, September 23-24 at Econolodge in Brookings, SD. The conference will enjoy Steve Paulson’s address on issue.
In Lauri Haikola’s book “Usus Legis,” Haikola presents the three sides disputing a third use of the law: Lutheran Orthodoxy, the so-called Antinomians, and Luther’s legacy. The conference will take up those three sides, discuss them, and then take a look at the current situation wherein the controversy is still present, sometimes more heated than others. “Usus Legis” is discussed through three major presentations and further discussion led by John H.G. Rasmussen and Timothy J. Swenson.
Presenters will be:
- Ken Howes on topic: “17th Century Lutheran Orthodoxy
- Steve Paulson: “The “So-Called” Second Antinomians”
- Nick Hopmann on topic: “Martin Luther’s View”
Delivering sermons for critique\discussion will be:
- Mark Jamison
- Rich Little
- Samantha Carlson
- Michael Giese
The Tuesday afternoon session features a panel discussion of our current situation hosted by John H.G. Rasmussen, Timothy J. Swenson, and the previous presenters. Rasmussen, Swenson, and Howes have translated Haikola’s book into English. Given favorable publication schedules, copies of the book will be for sale at the conference.
The open-to-all gathering will be held in the Econolodge Inn and Suites on Monday and Tuesday, September 23-24, from 8am-5pm. Call 605-692-3111 for room reservations, ask for Augsburg Lutheran Churches group.
