The denomination accepted both the Reformed Heidelberg Catechism and the Lutheran Luther's Small Catechism as its confessional documents. They eventually developed their own Evangelical Catechism , reflecting their "united" faith. The denomination established Eden Theological Seminary for the training of its clergy; today, Eden remains a seminary of the United Church Of Christ . HISTORY NOTABLE PEOPLE AND CONGREGATIONS The oldest Evangelical Synod congregation is believed to be Bethlehem Church in Ann Arbor, Michigan , founded in 1833 . The oldest Lutheran church in Chicago, Illinois was an Evangelical Synod congregation. The "Deutsche Evangelische Lutherische Sanct Paulus Geminde" (German Evangelical Lutheran St. Pauls Congregation) was founded in 1843 and now known as St. Pauls United Church Of Christ . ("St. Pauls" is properly spelled without the apostrophe, reflecting its German heritage--there is no apostrophe in the German Language .) Reinhold Niebuhr and H. Richard Niebuhr were both members of the Evangelical Synod and its successors. |
