Multiethnic Symposium
2026-05-05 - 2026-05-06 | Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, 801 Seminary Place, St. Louis, MO, 63105, United States
United in Praise: Celebrating God’s Love and Faithfulness Across All Nations
In Ps. 117:1, the church is called to praise the Lord — all nations together. The praise of the multiethnic church becomes a powerful witness to the rich tapestry of peoples who together glorify Him. This praise highlights the unity of faith and confession shared by believers from every culture, grounded in the unwavering love and faithfulness of God. Through expressions of praise in music, dance and art, the 2026 Multiethnic Symposium will explore how the church is equipped to bear witness to God’s love and faithfulness across all nations. “Praise the Lord, all nations!” (Ps. 117:1 ESV).

Who Am I? A Christian Response to LGBTQ+
This Continuing Education series brings together three respected scholars and practitioners who have taught and researched extensively in the area of gender and human identity. Through clear, accessible presentations, they will explore gender identity, gender dysphoria, transgender experiences, homosexuality, and related challenges facing the Church today. Grounded in a biblical and confessional understanding of creation, identity, and vocation, the series equips attendees with practical insight and compassionate approaches for engaging and caring for individuals who are questioning their gender identity or who have already transitioned.
The course will be taught via Zoom from 4-5:15 p.m. (CT) Tuesdays, April 14 through May 19, 2026. Participants are required to log in and participate in live online sessions at specified meeting days/times. Offering has fixed start and end dates and regular assignment due dates.
