This episode is a fuller version of my presentation given at the 2024 Lutheran Historical Conference in Baltimore. Link to the full video of this episode.

One church historian observed that “ It would require pages and pages to report Wyneken's work during his pastorate [in Baltimore].”
This episode will examine one specific topic- how Wyneken contested for a genuine Lutheran identity and practice in the following arenas in Baltimore:

2nd German Evangelical Lutheran Church
Evangelical Lutheran General Synod
Forming the German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, etc.
The IOOF, Red Men, and other lodges
