There were no other editions of the 1963 Altar Decorum.Architectural Requirements of the Lutheran Cultus. Mimeographed, no date, 30 pages. About 15,000 words. A note at the beginning of the document states: ÒThese lectures were prepared for and delivered at a Workshop on Church Art and Architecture held at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri, a theological school of the Lutheran ChurchÑ Missouri Synod, at which the author is professor of systematic theology. Originally presented with the rubrics of The Lutheran Liturgy in mind, these lecturesi have been adapted for publication to contemplate the rubrics of the Service Book and Hymnal, since that is the rite followed by most Lutherans into whose hands they will come.Ó The audio recording was given the number NA4800 P5 and the date 1963. A copy of the recording may be in the Piepkorn Papers. In 2012 the Seminary Library had no record of such a recording, but has a handwritten copy of the lectures, which has been bound into a book. 6That handwritten copy may have been the basis for a printed booklet (about 8Ó x 11.5Ó x !Ó) that was published, I think, by the capital fund drive agency of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. That agency transferred its responsibilities to the Lutheran Church Extension Fund about the year 2000. In July 2012 Marcy Scholl of that Fund told me that the Fund has no record of the booklet. I do not have a copy of it but am looking for one. I have made an edited, computer searchable edition of the monograph described above.

This must be a revision of Altar Decorum, 1963, even though that is nowhere stated, since there are no earlier editions of The Conduct of the Service. Charles McClean published The Conduct of the Services (note the plural) in 1970, also using the Concordia Seminar Print Shop. Spiral bound, 130 pp. It it McClean stated: ÒReaders familiar with The Conduct of the Service by the Rev.

The latter article was apparently continued in ÒAnglo-Lutheran Relations during the First Two Years of the Reign of Edward VI,Ó CTM 106 (September 1935). See "Anglo-Lutheran Relations . . ." He apparently included a copy of the latter article in an Alleluia Saturday (February 16), 1935 letter to W. Arndt. In this letter he states that the essay Òtreats of a subject which has been occupying my attention ever since 1932, and I am continually adding to the mountain of notes that I have on Anglo-Lutheran relations in the Reformation century. From time to time I manage to assemble a chapter or two. Thus an appendix [ÒAnglo-Lutheran Relations, Part I] has appeared in Pro Ecclesia Lutherana, volume 2, and the earlier phases of the relationship between the two Churches down to the death of Henry VIII. was the subject of an unpublished paper which I read at the fateful Manhattan conference of the S. James group. [new para.] The present study, covering the first two years of Edward VI.Õs reign, is probably of more general interest to our clergy, tracing as it does the stages through which the leader of the English Reform movement passed on his dark pilgrimage from Lutheranism to Calvinistic Protestantism.Ó Paul Sauer gave me a copy of this letter, which he found in the Papers, but did not indicate the box or folder number. Piepkorn may have planned to include ÒLutheran Rubrics of the 16th CenturyÓ (PEL 1:1, 1933) in the book too. His assignment to Chisholm made it difficult to get materials for these chapters and when he got married and went to the Lutheran Hour in 1936, where he also served as a curate of a vacant congregation, and then went to Cleveland in 1937, where his first two children were born, and then on active duty in the Army in 1940, this planned book apparently got no further.ÒAnnouncing the Christian Year,Ó Una Sancta, 7:1 (Advent 1946): 12. c pc sAnsgar Lutheran (United Evangelical Lutheran Church, a synod of Danish origin) reprinted PiepkornÕs article that was published in the American Lutheran prior to March 24 1947.

Central in the faith and life of the Church is the Gospel of GodÕs love, manifested through the atoning, sacrificial, victorious work of Christ Jesus our Lord. 2. The authority of Christ in His Church as He exercises it through His Word and the Sacred Ministry of His Word is supreme. 3. The Church in the process of any reformation or change must remain the Catholic Church. 4. The concern of the ChurchÕs leaders must be for the conscience[s] of the people. 5. The Sacraments that Our Lord instituted as channels of grace must retain always their primitive primacy. 6. The Church and we with it need to repeat not only verbally but also practically the complete Creed and to stress a Christian secularism against the false spiritualism that disparages GodÕs material creation and the legitimate natural purposes and activities of human life and human society.[ÒThe Augsburg Confession and the Small and Large CatechismsÓ] n.d. typescript on 42 half sheets of paper.

Christians should be involved in conversations with other Christians. Lutherans should engage in conversations Òspecifically with the Christians who acknowledge the authority of the Bishop of RomeÓ because Lutherans Òhave committed themselves to the Augsburg ConfessionÓ (p. 7) and because they Òhave so much in common,Ó including Ò1500 years of history that belong equally to both.Ó They also have a similar church calendar, a similar liturgy, many hymns in common, and appeal to many of the same fathers and theologians of the Western Church. ÒLutherans have never attempted to turn the clock back, to wipe out the centuries that have intervened in GodÕs providence since the year 100Ó but Òhave respected time as the arena in which God works and reveals himself and in which the Holy Spirit has been leading the pilgrim people of God into the fullness of the truth of the revelation which he inspire.Ó (8) They have a Òcommon understanding of Our LordÕs Incarnation by the Holy Ghost out of the Blessed Virgin MaryÓ and Òsee the world in which we live as sacramental.Ó They also need to engage in conversation because of the more than 400 years of separation.Ó (9) pc & orig.ÒThe Council of Chalcedon, 451-1951,Ó Una Sancta 11 [error for 10?] (The Lutheran Martyrs of Florida, 1951): 19-23.

ÒDid Luther Teach That Christ Committed Adultery?Ó CTM 25 (June 1954): 417-432. Written in response to an item by the Rev. Richard Ginder in Our Sunday Visitor, 42:44 (February 28, 1954) p. 12, which item Ginder apparently got from Martin Luther: HitlerÕs Spiritual Ancestor (London: Hutchinson and Co. [1945]. The item quotes a passage from the Table Talk of Luther in which he appears to say that Christ committed adultery with the woman at the well, Mary Magdalene and the adulteress of John 8. Piepkorn cites the passage in question in the original Latin. He demonstrates that Luther believed in "the perfect deity and perfect manhood" of Jesus Christ and in "his sinlessness from the first moment of his conception in the womb of the Mother of God," who Ñ according to Luther Ñ was herself sinless. Finally Piepkorn points out that Luther often asserted that "by an astonishing interchange (admirabili commertio) [also called Òthe felicitous exchangeÓ or Òhappy exchangeÓ] our sins are henceforth not our own, but they are Christ's, and the righteousness of Christ is not Christ's, but ours" (p. 420). Christ, then, can be called "accursed of God" and a "criminal" (p. 421); a "robber, blasphemer, desecrator, thief" (426); and "Peter the denier, and Paul the persecutor, blasphemer, and the adulterer David" (428) even though He never committed any of these sins "in His person." orig c y A-71/172ÒDigests of Recent American and European Lutheran Discussions of the Sacrament of the Altar.Ó In Eucharist as Sacrifice.

At its meeting on September 6, 1960, the Faculty Senate considered a suggestion that the Worship Commission of the MS be requested to alter ÒcanonicalÓ to Òprophetic and apostolicÓ in the formularies of The Lutheran Agenda for the ordination of ministers and missionaries and the installation of professors. It is quite possible that the suggestion was made by Piepkorn. In any case the Senate then resolved that Piepkorn Òconvey to the Commission the suggestion that the ordination formula be brought into harmony with the constitution of the Missouri Synod (Ôthe Scriptures of the Old and New TestamentÕ)."

The title is preceded by Roman Numeral II. There is no Part I or any subsequent parts. This part is primarily about Òthe officeÓ or Òauthority of the keysÓ but it ends with this: ÒThe present discussion is therefore not about the Ôoffice of the keysÕ or the Ôauthority of the keysÕ in the strict sense . . . but about the function of Christians generally as they engage in Ômutual fraternal conversation and consolationÕ of which SA, Part III, IX declares that through it also a superabundantly compassionate God gives us needed aid and strength against sin." Since he does not discuss that here, this reference from ÒReaction to Church OfficesÓ is noteworthy: A layman Òcan engage in any aspect of what the Smalcald Articles call "mutual fraternal conversation and comfort" (Part Three, 4). This last takes in a great deal of territory and could include almost any kind of face-to-face 23encouragement, reassurance, admonishing, and counseling short of absolution.Ó For a while I gave it the title "Office of the Keys," but the above title is more accurate. 62/1.

Ò[T]he Verbal Inspiration affirmed within The Lutheran ChurchÐMissouri Synod reflects here as at other points a revived seventeenth-century Lutheran orthodoxy modified by Pietistic influences,Ó and that it was Òconstituted in conscious antithesis to the religious empiricism of the Schleiermacher tradition.Ó ÒPietism was at many points a reaction against Orthodoxy, but in this article conservative Pietism tended to reinforce the Orthodox position.Ó States that Òwe do not have an explicit article on the Sacred Scriptures in the Lutheran SymbolsÓ because there was agreement Òin the theology of Calvin, in the Tridentine decrees, and in every school of pre-Reformation ScholasticismÓ on Òthe authority, the inspiration, and the inerrancy of the Sacred ScripturesÓ (p. 740). In contrast to Lutheran Orthodoxy, Òthe Symbols deal with the implicit doctrines of inspiration, authority and inerrancy in an existential and functional way, without the use of philosophically refined technical terms, such as Verbal Inspiration, perspicuity, and sufficiency, and without a two-way equation between the Scriptures and the Word of GodÓ (pp. 740f.). Richard R. Caemmerer states in his introduction that the ÒScriptures should be regarded as the sole source and norm of faithÓ (p. 738). The MS oaths of ordination and installation have Òthe only infallible rule of faith and practice.Ó (ibid.) The title page of the Book of Concord has Òthe only standard.Ó Piepkorn balances this by quoting the more complete statement in the Formula of Concord, which adds the qualification Òaccording to which all teachers and teaching are to be judged and evaluatedÓ (SD Summ 3; cf. Ep Summ 7). *[ÒIntercessions On Behalf of the Souls of the Dead.Ó] 1957. Mimeographed. 19 pp. including a two page bibliography.

Our conventional use of the term ÔsoulÕ with reference to the faithful departed reveals strong Hellenistic and Roman Catholic influenceÓ (p. 1). The canonical Scriptures nowhere explicitly prohibit or command intercessions for the faithful departed. Such intercessions are a very early Christian institution (many examples, mostly in Latin). Luther Òinclines toward a cautious toleration of the practice.Ó The Apology states that Lutherans do not prohibit prayers for the dead or believe that they are useless. The Smalcald Articles leave the question Òin suspenso.Ó ÒExamples of cautious approval of prayers for the faithful departed can be found among LutheransÓ from the 16th to the 20th centuries (many examples). The practice antedates the Roman Catholic doctrine of purgatory, Òthe doctrine of a particular judgment immediately after death,Ó Òthe doctrine of the efficacy of the Sacraments ex opera operato sine bono motu utentis,Ó and Òis in itself an indifferent matter (adiaphoron).Ó ÒSince the Lutheran Symbols explicity refuse to disapprove it and since it is a very ancient practiceÓ of that primitive Ôorthodox and authentic ChurchÕ of which our Symbols speak (FC, Ep. Von dem summarische Begriff, 3), it cannot in itself be legitimately condemned among usÓ (p. 17).

This unsigned and untitled typescript consists of 21 numbered and one unnumbered, double spaced half pages. The copy in the ELCA Archives has been dated by an archivist in 1968, but there is no internal evidence for that. It was written to be presented to a group of Lutheran and Roman Catholic theologians or clergy, most likely those on the Lutheran/Roman Catholic Dialogue in the U.S. The ÒFather PeterÓ referred to is probably the Rev. Carl J. Peter of the Catholic University of America, who was a member of Dialogue V on Papal Primacy and the Universal Church. Although there is no indication of authorship, Piepkorn routinely worked on half sheets, the style and content of the document appears to me to unequivocally be his, and the handwritten editing is in his hand. The document is important because this is the only place I have found in which he explains in some detail why be believed that the word ekklesia in Matthew 18:17 does not refer to Òthe church.Ó It is also the only place I know of where he explicitly states that the Church is prior to its members, and one of the few places where he writes at some length on the relationship of Òthe churchesÓ to Òthe Church.Ó He is inconsistent in his use of initial capital letters for words such as Biblical, Church, and New Testament. Since he uses capitals for them in some places, I have added them in other places where I think he would have used them if he had edited this document for publication. I have added punctuation in a number of places and supplied minor words that he obviously had left out by mistake.. Vicar Robert W. Paul typed it up. Karna Secker assisted me in editing it.

The early church does not know the problem. This is followed by 13 " pages of quotations in 36Latin, German and French from Òthe early (and most dependable) doctors of the Church of the Augsburg ConfessionÓ supporting PiepkornÕs assertion (above). Edgar Krentz sent me his copy in 3/06, with his notes on it, so the mimeoed document must have been seen by at least some faculty members at some point. I have not found it in the Archives.On May 2, 1959, when Piepkorn was in Europe, the joint theological faculties of Synod adopted ÒThe Moment of the Real Presence in the LordÕs Supper.Ó This statement was printed as a Brief Study in CTM 30, (July 1959): 530-531. Piepkorn then published ÒThe Moment At Which The Sacramental Union BeginsÓ(Una Sancta, June 25, 1960) under the pseudonym Titus Verinus so as not to embarrass his colleagues. Piepkorn states in a February 25, 1960 letter to Editor Glenn Stone that his pseudonym is a play on "Timothy Verinus (1672-1749)," the pseudonym of Valentine Ernst Loescher (1643-1749), who wrote a critique of Pietism. The 1960 article was reprinted in The Church. The 1960 article is a much shorter, all English summary of his longer unpublished 1958 study. In 1967 Piepkorn asked Seminary President A. Fuerbringer if he could update the Una Sancta article and publish it under his own name instead of a pseudonym. F. said Yes but I have never found it if he did. @*[ÒTitle?.Ó] Edgar Krentz sent me his copy of the 1958 study in 3/06.

ÓThe norm of Lutheran piety is that body of practices and procedures which we find illustrated in those places and at those periods in which Lutheranism was permitted to evolve and express its peculiar genius free of external influences and interferences. . . . In general, the norm of Lutheran piety is essentially medieval piety modified by the doctrinal reforms of the Lutheran movementÓ (p. 3). Both the Òbelieving IÓ and the universal Church must be taken into consideration to avoid Òdead OrthodoxyÓ on the one hand and Ò moralistic practicalismÓ on the other. ÒChristian piety is both individual and socialÓ (p. 4). ÒThe Lutheran norm of piety calls for ritual, primarily because ritual is inescapableÓ (p. 7). Lutheran piety also accepted symbolism Òas a reinforcement and enrichment of ritualÓ (p. 10). ÒAnother safeguard of objectivity was the retention by Lutheran piety of the Church Year, both in liturgy and sermonÓ (p. 12). Both Òpraise and petition are parts of the sacrifice that we are in duty bound to offer to GodÓ ( p. 14).

A presentation Piepkorn made about the Lutheran/Roman Catholic Dialogue, Baltimore, MD, July 6-7, 1965, to a Roman Catholic audience. Typescript. [1-24]. Unsigned but with a gloss in his hand and very consistent with his teaching elsewhere. A=61-13.# Discusses: doctrine and its development, dogma, authority in the Church, tradition, sola scriptura vs. nuda scriptura, the sufficiency and adequacy of the Scriptures, Scriptura scripturam interpretatur, hierarchical structure of the Lutheran Confessions, credenda/credita, why creeds, fides qua creditur/fidea quae creditur, the object of faith, hierarchy of verities, the Filioque clause, the liturgy as a witness to the faith p. 11, changing the Lutheran Symbols p. 12, interpreting and applying the Symbols to our time, examples of where the creeds and symbols go beyond the Scriptures. In the Creeds: consubstantiality of the Father and the Son, the Filioque clause, the somewhat imprecise terms ÒcatholicÓ and Òapostolic,Ó the descensus, sanctorum communionem, carnis resurrectionem, trinitas, persona, substantia, Our LordÕs subsistence in a reasonable soul and in human flesh and that they are one man, divinity, humanity. In the Lutheran Symbols: two natures, the reversal of the dominant trend of the development of Western theology since St. Augustine by its definition of justification, concupiscentia, ministerium ecclesiasticum, the ordo ecclesiasticus, the potestas ecclesiastica, the definition of sacrament, the designation of clergy as priests, the command of infant baptism, use of the formula Òunder the species (Gestalt) of,Ó confession as jure humano and absolution as jure divino, the requirement of rite vocatus, freedom of the will, the definition of repentance as Òcontrition and faith with good works as the fruit,Ó concupiscence as the matter of original sin, the intercession of the saints and specifically of the B.V.M. for the church in general, the description of the sacramental union as analogous to the hypostatic union, the use of the scholastic prepositional formula Òin, with and under,Ó the polarity of the law and gospel in their specialized meanings, the potestas ordinis/jurisdictionis distinction, the perpetual virginity of the B.V.M., calling her Theotokos, Dei genetrix, the pope as the veritable antichrist, Ònihil habaet rationem sacramenti extra actionem divinitur institutam,Ó the communication of attributes distributed among the three genera, sacrament/sacrifice, ousia/hypostasis, definition of persona, gender of words used of the Holy Spirit, degrees of certainty, his belief in the perpetual virginity of the B.V.M., Lutheran reluctance to resolve paradoxes, theological terms as labels for mysteries, demetaphorization of the 42session at the right hand and the descensus. Other topics include the postecumenical councils, the Newman/Blondel understanding of doctrinal development, the Lutheran definition of the church (p. 24), Òthe insuperable obstacle to the achievement of the ecumenical ideal in our time, the self-identification of the Roman Catholic Church with the one holy catholic and apostolic church of the creed,Ó and an aspect of the latter, namely, Òif one segment of the empirical church . . .possesses the competence to define . . .as an indispensable part of the deposit of faith, a particular tenet for which the demonstration from the word of God as understood in primitive tradition is dubious.Ó*ÒThe Problem of Universalism.Ó Reformation Bible Study Seminar. St. Louis Pastoral Conference. October 18, 25 and November 1 (Wednesday); October 19, 26, November 2 held in four different St. Louis locations on an alternating basis. n.d. but Piepkorn had just returned from Europe. 12 faculty members participated. Wednesday fell on October 18 in 1961, 1967 and 1972. Has to be 1972 since he mentions the Seminary Chapel of the Holy Apostles on p. 27. Piepkorn apparently introduced his speech with this: ÒThe dilemma. Agreed to speak on Universalism and Particularism in the New Testament. When I returned from Europe I found the topic had been changed to ÔSalvationÑthrough Christ or through Another?Õ Explained that this had been selected as a more interesting topic. Difficulty is that I can not talk about it very long. Everything I have to say isÓ ÔThere is no salvation except through Jesus Christ.Ó For me to stop here and to open the time for questions would be unsatisfactory. You would feel that you are the victims of a put-on. I pointed this out to Dr. [Alfred Von Rohr] Sauer and he suggested that I try to combine the two topics.Ó Definitions of Òuniversalism, and Òparticularism,Ó application of scriptura scripturam interpretatur, ÒWho gets the glory?,Ó metaphors for atonement, Origen, biblical data, development of limbo, the mystics, the oxymoron term Òanonymous Christians.Ó ÒThe Origenistic type of Universalism is É excluded both by the scared scriptures and for Lutherans by the Lutheran symbolical books.Ó p. 9.

Marty is repeated in all 3 volumes. Volume I, 1977. Introduced by Harry J. McSorley. Volume II, 1978. Introduced by Robert T. Handy. Volumes III-IV, 1979. Introduced by Vinson Synan. New York: Harper & Row, 1977-79. Published posthumously. According to the jackets of all three volumes, volume 5 was to be titled "Metaphysical Bodies," volume 6 was to be entitled "Judaism," and 43volume 7 was to be entitled "Oriental, Humanist, and Unclassified Religious Bodies." PiepkornÕs files for Profiles are in 28 boxes in the Archives of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. Tietjen edited volumes 1-4 but stopped at that point. and as of 2012 no one has edited any volumes beyond them. Piepkorn published a number of articles in the Theological Observer section of the CTM that he intended to include in Profiles in Belief. I have not listed those articles in this bibliography nor compared them with what was published in Profiles in Belief. Volume I. Richard John Neuhaus, a Piepkorn student, knew that Piepkorn believed that the Roman Catholic Church that we know took on its particular or distinctive form at the Council of Trent when it adopted new dogmas and that, therefore, the Church of the Augsburg Confession, which took on its distinctive form at the Diet of Worms in 1530, is both logically and chronologically prior to the Roman Catholic Church. Neuhaus claimed that this was a mere debating point that Piepkorn used. But McSorley, a good friend of PiepkornÕs, spends a little over 48% of his introduction to volume 1 trying to refute PiepkornÕs belief, about which he knew Piepkorn was deadly serious. Piepkorn makes the assertion in scores of places in his personal and professional writings beginning at least as early as the 1930s. Volume II. Unfortunately, Piepkorn was waiting until volume II was close to publication to do the chapters on Lutheranism. Kurt Hendel did Chapter 1, ÒThe Church of the Augsburg Confession.Ó I will review it sometime and put my comments here. John Tietjen did Chapter 4, ÒLutheranism in the United States and Canada.Ó David Truemper did Chapter 2, ÒDoctrine and Theology,Ó and Chapter 3, ÒNature and Function of the Church.Ó After his death I went through all of his Papers in the Valparaiso University Library but did not find any files or notes relating to those two chapters. His wife has told me that there are none in their home. The first three or four boxes of the Piepkorn Papers that are in the Archives of the Graduate Theological Union deal with Lutheranism, but they mostly consist of pamphlets and similar materials that Piepkorn had collected to write up Lutheranism. I did find some handwritten pages on Lutheranism that I will transcribe and cite in this bibliography entry in the future. Since many will look at chapters 2 and 3 for PiepkornÕs understanding of Lutheranism, those chapters deserve special attention here. Truemper was a visiting professor at Concordia Seminary in the school year 1972-73, I think. He was working on his ThD at the time but did not complete it before PiepkornÕs death in December1973. Although he lists sixteen of PiepkornÕs works in the bibliographies to the two chapters, he cites Piepkorn only five times in the endnotes of Chapter 2 (notes 2, 5, 28, 51, 54), and only four times in the endnotes of Chapter 3 (notes 1, 2, 33, 43). He cites other theologians on many points on which he could have cited PiepkornÕs own beliefs. This can be easily seen by searching this bibliography on any of the points. TruemperÕs summaries of PiepkornÕs beliefs are very accurate in the places where he is summarizing one of Piepkorn's articles on a given theological topic. But this is not true elsewhere. Of course, Truemper no doubt did not know of or have easy access to the scores of articles and papers in this bibliography.44 Most telling, however, is that the fact that Piepkorn often said that he had no desire to be original or novel. He also did not like or use neo-logisms. Yet Truemper uses the following terms "sinnerhood" (twice on p. 53) "Godness," "empiricality," "coercer," and "corporalness." I know of no instances where Piepkorn ever used any of those terms. Several of the works of Werner Elert were used in courses at Valparaiso or at Concordia Seminary by Robert Bertram, Robert C. Schultz or Edward H. Schroeder. Truemper lists works by all four theologians in his bibliographies. He cites Elert in Chapter 2, note 38 (page 53), and quotes Schultz in Chapter 2, page 62, note 82. The article he lists by Schroeder is ÒIs There a Lutheran Hermeneutics?Ó It is well known that the law/gospel hermeneutic that Bertram and Schroeder considered Òthe Lutheran hermeneutic,Ó was believed by Piepkorn to be merely Òa Lutheran hermeneutic. (For a description of the two hermeneutics, see Jaroslav Pelikan, Credo, 2003, pp. 275-76.) I think Truemper agreed with Bertram and Schroeder, and that this is evident in these two chapters as well as in other writings by Truemper. If that is so, his interpretation of Lutheranism would have varied significantly from PiepkornÕs. I also think that at key points Truemper is reading his own understanding of Elert into Piepkorn, who rarely referred to or cited Elert. I hope someday to document these assertions.ÒProof Texts that Prove Nothing.Ó Editorial. AL 36 (December 1953): 3-4.

In the four paragraphs Piepkorn states: ÒCertainly no Lutheran committed to the Lutheran symbolical books can quarrel with the intent of the carefully worked out paper that we have before us. He might quarrel with the title. "The writing of confessions" could seem to be something in which the church is habitually engaged.

In the closing paragraph he states: ÒWith the irregular attendance of many of our people at divine worship and with the general lack of preparation for the service on the part of many of the worshipers that do come, I feel that a three-year cycle or even a two-year cycle would mean that many of our people would in the end be less well acquainted with the Sacred Scriptures than they are now.Ó He recommended that both a one-year and a three-year cycle be made available, with the latter also available Òfor sermon texts.Ó p. 453. c pc V orig See ÒThe Use of the Apocryphal Book in the Lectionary,Ó n.d., below, which I cannot find, and ÒDiscussion of the Term ÔCanonical ScripturesÕ in the Agenda.Ó Also search on canon/ical.ÒThe Use of the Apocryphal Books in the Lectionary.Ó n.d. pc ##6/06 I canÕt find this.

The celebrant must be an ordained clergyman (AC 14) who possesses the Ôauthority of order, that is, the ministry of the Word of God and of the sacraments (Apology 28:13; Tractate 60f). Sponsorship by a congregation is Òneither a Biblical nor a symbolical requirement.Ó ÒValid CelebrationsÓ is a part of ÒCelebrating Holy Communion Outside Congregational ServicesÓ (pp. 7-11; [167-171]). The following message is in the left margin of the first page: ÒIs it proper or necessary to celebrate Holy Communion when Christians assemble for worship at camps, colleges, or public auditoriums? This question is raised by Pastor Korcok, who views the local congregation as the custodian of the means of grace and possessor of the Office of the Keys. The Witness asked a panel of Missouri Synod clergymen to comment on his point of view. Here is Pastor KorcokÕs article, which is followed by the reactions of the four panelists: a parish pastor who is an authority on liturgical usage, a seminary professor, an executive secretary for a Lutheran council, and a former parish pastor now working full time under interchurch auspices.Ó Pastor John KorcokÕs article, which has no title, is on pages 7-8 [167-168].

I have commented on this in my Virgin Birth Controversy.doc. Piepkorn knew that the Mariological Society is aware of the controversy in the MS.I think he is trying to tell the members of the Society that the controversy is not between liberal doubters of the Bible and the creed and Bible and creed believers. In other words, that the controversy in the MS is not the controversy between liberalism and conservatism that had swept through many Protestant churches, as the members of the Mariological Society may have assumed from what they read about it in the press. For that reason this is a very good article for understanding PiepkornÕs understanding of the 54controversy in the MS.

Note 2 is on the doxology. Note 5 is on the understanding of the prayer as an eschatological prayer. Piepkorn calls the prayer Òconcentrated eschatology, to be uttered in full consciousness of the tension between the ÔalreadyÕ of ChristÕs victory and the Ônot yetÕ of His coming at the end of the age.Ó Text, p. 185.61"Disabled but Enabled."

John Huber gave me his CSMS copy. c 57-5 Piepkorn was at the Seminary at the time. He was speaking to a group of LC-MS pastors in New Jersey, most of whom belonged to Òthe Order of Benedict.Ó He refers once to St. MichaelÕs Lutheran Church in [unintelligible], NJ. In the beginning Piepkorn says his presentation is about the Òso-called third use of the Law,Ó as it is described in FC 10. This should not be taken to mean that he rejected the third use of the Law. He did not. But he preferred to speak of the ÒfunctionsÓ of the Law rather than their Òuses.Ó The first part of his presentation consists of an excellent discussion of the fallen nature of manÑthe best I know of in his written or recorded works. (Cf. Cassette counter 66-88; 103-5) He then discusses the way Christians should discipline their bodies with such things as prayer, meditation, fasting, confession of sins, etc.Ecumenics: Brothers in the Lord Sound recording. St. Louis: Concordia Seminary Media Services, 1973. 73-45. In about 2005 John George Huber gave me a cassette that he purchased from the Library many years earlier. It has the title: "Brothers in the Lord: Other Lutherans and Other Christians." On the back is this caption: "Concordia Seminary Cassettes. Piepkorn. Side 2." The back side has 20" of the speech followed by Q&A. The presentation on this cassette was made by Dr. Arthur Carl Piepkorn sometime between late 1972 and July 1973, because in the recording he says the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and the American Lutheran Church have been in fellowship "for almost four years." At the beginning of his presentation, Piepkorn says that he was given the subject "Ecumenics," but that he has changed it to "Brothers In the Lord," which he confesses he has borrowed from the beginning of the third section of the Second Vatican Council decree on ecumenism, "Unitatis Redintegratio." That may explain the title " Ecumenics: Brothers in the Lord" in the seminary catalog. Huber does not know how the subtitle "Other Lutherans and Other 64Christians," was added to his cassette, but it is an accurate description of the contents. Piepkorn lists the three parts of the presentation as: 1. What We All Know, 2. What "What the clergy know;" 3. "What the practical consequences are." It is clear from the tape that he is speaking to an audience that is made up predominantly of members of the Missouri Synod. I have put it on a CD.

Piepkorn discusses two definitions of conscience and carefully defines and analyzes the various issues that are involved. Prefers ÒrighteousnessÓ as a translation of Òiustitia.Ó Side B has a presentation by the Rev Mark Pera, Chaplain at Southern Illinois University. Pera had not seen PiepkornÕs presentation before hand, refers to PiepkornÕs presentation only with regard to a counseling point on which they agree, and seems to be interested mainly in justifying conscientious objection with regard to Vietnam and future wars. Piepkorn speaks only a few times in the short discussion on the tape following PeraÕs presentation. At one point he says: ÒI am not in favor of the war in Vietnam. I see a great many disadvantages to it. I regret profoundly that we are involved in it. At the same time, I think that we are in it legitimately. I think there is more to than was presented this morning [this seems to be largely a reply to PeraÕs presentation]. I think that we have at the present time a president who is desirous of extricating us from a difficult situation in as effective a way as possible. I may be wrong. This is a risk that I have to take, but when it finally comes down to making the decision ÒShall I or shall I not obey this order which conscripts me?Ó then I think more than attitudes toward war are involved. We are dealing here then it seems to me with a part where we have to talk it terms of conscience, a conscience that is answerable to almighty God for the decision that is made. Now IÕve tried to leave both options open and to indicate that I have a very first general principle that a church cannot abandon a member who feels compelled by his conscience to refuse to engage in combatant service 65and or to refuse induction or to refuse or to perform a particular act in war. It must support such fellow Christians with its prayers, with material assistance if this is necessary and possible, and with the word of God and the sacraments. I have insisted that while the church may speak to all É.Ó The recording ends at this point. I was in Vietnam at the time. I almost refused to go but Piepkorn and an incident I will not go into here, convinced me to go and see and then discuss the matter with Piepkorn at the Far Easter Lutheran Chaplains Retreat in Sanyo, Japan, in April. I did both and decided to remain in Vietnam. I saw Piepkorn again when he visited Vietnam shortly after the Retreat at the invitation of Chaplain (COL) Gerhard Hyatt, who was General Creighton AbramsÕ Chaplain. In 1968 he told me that he was impressed by how many Lutheran chaplains who served there defended the war. During his visit to Vietnam in 1969 he told me how many Vietnamese people smiled at him and the soldiers he was with during his visit. The latter was my experience too.

Piepkorn had a number of concerns about a book that Fred Lindemann planned to publish according to correspondence in Piepkorn's military correspondence in the late 1940's but I did not find a list of his concerns or even what the title of the book was. Reed, Luther Dotterer. The Lutheran Liturgy. Piepkorn's review was to be published in the The American Lutheran in late 1947 or early 1948. On November 11, 1947, Piepkorn wrote a personal letter to Reed in which he listed several dozen "typographical errors" in the book, most involving Latin words. At the end Piepkorn wrote "I am happy to have been able to recommend the book to a number of our clergy who have purchased it and who are as delighted with it as I am." The letter is in near the front of 84/6. I did not make a copy. Also there is Reed's reply and defense of the spelling of a few of the Latin spellings and explanation of how others got into his book. He had literally cut and pasted from a book by Dr. Strodoch into the final draft.78Sasse, Hermann. Piepkorn recommended "a specially large print order" of Una Sancta to give "maximum distribution" to Sasse's article "Liturgy and Lutheranism," which Piepkorn had translated. He says he would "be delighted to translate Vom Sakrament des Altars," but would need a year to do it right and could not take that time. He added that he hoped that "it would be published." 84/1947 Liturgics. 12/6/47 Reply to a letter from Herman A.

He used the phrases Helmer cites (see the text on note 14), but not to make her point. He used the phrase Òa prioriÓ in the reference cited in note 15, not in 14, and applies the concept only to the number of sacraments in both places. He says the visible words are a Òvehicle forÓ the presence of Christ rather than a means by which Christ proclaims Òhis identity with the visible words of water, wine, bread, and the pastoral absolution in the sign of the crossÓ (text on note 17). pcWiecher, William S.

Fr. Piepkorn concluded that the ÒdeaconÓ had in fact been ordained into the Holy Ministry and welcomed him into the latter. Conclusion: If a duly authorized pastor commits the ministry of Word and Sacrament to a layperson, the layperson has been ordained in the Holy Ministry. See ÒLay Workers in the ChurchÓ and my unpublished ÒMay Laypersons Ever Exercise the Office of the Word and Sacrament?Ó Elsewhere Piepkorn asserts argues that Òhis own churchÓ in the Tractate 65 does not mean his own ÒcongregationÓ but a group of congregations.1968 ÒLay Workers in the Church.Ó Co-authored with Herbert J.

Refers to Òa soberly worked-out exegetical analysisÓ by Dean Nils Johansson of Linkšpking of the NT passages(13B) ( which analysis Piepkorn made efforts to get published in 1971 at the request of Eric Segelberg). States that Òa repeal or at least a radical modification of the offensive statute is not considered impossibleÓ (14B), apparently viewing either as "a happy outcome under God" (14A).

Required is: ÒA celebrant, a congregation of communicants, and valid matter, that is, bread and wine. The celebrant must be an ordained clergyman (AC 14) who possesses the Ôauthority of order, that is, the ministry of the Word of God and of the sacraments (Apology 28:13; Tractate 60f). Sponsorship by a congregation is Òneither a Biblical nor a symbolical requirement.Ó Valid CelebrationsÓ is a part of ÒCelebrating Holy Communion Outside Congregational ServicesÓ (pp. 7-11; [167-171]). The following message is in the left margin of the first page: ÒIs it proper or necessary to celebrate Holy Communion when Christians assemble for worship at camps, colleges, or public auditoriums? This question is raised by Pastor Korcok, who views the local congregation as the custodian of the means of grace and possessor of the Office of the Keys. The Witness asked a panel of Missouri Synod clergymen to comment on his point of view. Here is Pastor KorcokÕs article, which is followed by the reactions of the four panelists: a parish pastor who is an authority on liturgical usage, a seminary professor, an executive secretary for a Lutheran council, and a former parish pastor now working full time under interchurch auspices.Ó Pastor John KorcokÕs article, which has no title, is on pages 7-8 [167-168]. The first reaction, which is by the Rev. Paul J Schulze, is entitled ÒA Faulty Identification,Ó (p. 9 [=169]). The second reaction is PiepkornÕs ÒValid CelebrationsÓ (p. 10 [170]). The third reaction is by the Rev. Herbert H. Mirly and is entitled ÒClarification NeededÓ (p. 11 [=171]). The last reaction is by the Rev. Herbert Lindemann and is entitled ÒOther PlacesÓ (p. 11 [=171]). A photocopy of a three page, double spaced typewritten draft of PiepkornÕs article is in the Piepkorn Papers, Box 21, Folder 11.

ÒTo make interconfessional celebrations of the 85Sacrament of the Altar the first item on the ecumenical agenda is a mistake. The history of the Church does not support the pious hope that such celebrations will by themselves create a oneness that does not in fact already have inchoate existence.Ó 20 Such services raise many questions for both Roman Catholics and Lutherans. Even greater problems would arise if the president of the service were from other churches. Suggests that bilateral agreements for extraordinary circumstances might be better. Or a non-Eucharistic service perhaps combined with an Òinterconfessional agape (Ôlove-feastsÕ) Ð comparable to those in which the primitive Christian community embedded the Sacrament of the Altar, only to dissolve the connection at a later date.Ó 20 pc and orig.

He concludes the section on BaierÕs Compendium with these words: ÒExtensive traces of Lutheran Orthodoxy, Confessional ecclesiology, and Catholic conviction are thus obviously still present to a marked degree, but it is equally obvious that the breaches have been made through which Pietistic subjectivism was ultimately able to rush in and effect the almost complete revolution in thinking about the Church whose baleful effects still continue.Ó III, p. 18.

The copy in the ELCA Archives has been dated by an archivist in 1968, but there is no internal evidence for that. It was written to be presented to a group of Lutheran and Roman Catholic theologians or clergy, most likely those on the Lutheran/Roman Catholic Dialogue in the U.S. The ÒFather PeterÓ referred to is probably the Rev. Carl J. Peter of the Catholic University of America, who was a member of Dialogue V on Papal Primacy and the Universal Church. Although there is no indication of authorship, Piepkorn routinely worked on half sheets, the style and content of the document appears to me to unequivocally be his, and the handwritten editing is in his hand. The document is important because this is the only place I have found in which he explains in some detail why be believed that the word ekklesia in Matthew 18:17 does not refer to Òthe church.Ó It is also the only place I know of where he explicitly states that the Church is prior to its members, and one of the few places where he writes at some length on the relationship of Òthe churchesÓ to Òthe Church.Ó He is inconsistent in his use of initial capital letters for words such as Biblical, Church, and New Testament. Since he uses capitals for them in some places, I have added them in other places where I think he would have used them if he had edited this document for publication.
