Multiethnic Symposium
2024-04-30 - 2024-05-01 | Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, 801 Seminary Place, St. Louis, MO, 63105, United States
We Believe in One Holy Catholic Church
Reclaiming our Catholicity Through the Multiethnic Church
The word catholic, the term used in the earliest versions of the Nicene Creed, makes manifest that the true church we confess is a church that embraces God’s people in all their cultural, linguistic and ethnic diversity. Come experience just a taste of what that means as we study and pray together at this Multiethnic Symposium.
