CAMERON MCKENZIE: Hello. My name is Cameron Mackenzie. I'm a professor of church history at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne. I've been at the seminary in Fort Wayne now for 21 years, and I'm deeply grateful to God for that call to the seminary. I enjoy my work very much. Prior to coming to the seminary, I was a pastor for several years in Detroit, Michigan. At the seminary, I teach a lot of different things, but one of the courses which I have taught several times is Reformation Era. And that course, really, is the basis here for our *DELTO history course two. In my part of the course, I'm going to be dealing, for the most part, with the non-Lutheran manifestations of reformation. We're going to be talking about the reformed, Zwingli and Calvin. We'll talk about the English, Henry VIII and his break with Rome. We'll talk about the radicals, Unitarians, and Anabaptists. We'll also talk about the Catholics and the Catholic reformation. I hope that you'll enjoy the course. I've always enjoyed teaching it. I think you will find that there are a lot of dramatic moments in church history in the 16th century, but it's also important in understanding the origins of our own church and of our own confessions, those that still characterize the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod here in the 21st century.
