After a two-year hiatus, Zion Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Detroit is pleased to announce that the St. Michael Liturgical Conference will be held this year, Lord willing, on Monday, September 26. Our Keynote Speaker will be the Rev. Dr. Burnell Eckardt. He will present a paper entitled “Preaching & the Word of God: The Sermon as a Sacramental Attribute of the New Testament.” This Twenty Third annual St. Michael Liturgical Conference will focus on the liturgical expression of the Holy Gospel in its preached and concrete forms.

Also presenting are the Rev. Fr. Charles McClean, who will explore the Eucharistic Prayers of Fr. Arthur Carl Piepkorn and discuss their use today, and the Rev. Fr. Douglas Spittel, who will explain the Minor Orders of the ancient Western Church, and discuss their contemporary application in a Confessional Lutheran setting.

Fr. Stefan Gramenz and Fr. Evan Scamman will present on their work towards creating a Lutheran Missal. They will discuss their historic research, and provide an overview of the Propers and liturgical observances included in the Missal.

The Rev. Dr. David Petersen, Pastor of Redeemer Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Fort Wayne, will serve as Conference Preacher, at the High Solemn Mass.
