Excerpt
Perhaps consistent with a conservative doctrinal position, but not necessarily concomitant with it, The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod has been slow, very slow, not only to do something about racial exclusiveness, prejudice, and discrimination, but even to become only vocal in its opposition to such unchristian and un-American attitudes and practices. As late as 1956, long after practically every other major church denomination in this country had spoken on the subject, the Missouri Synod made its first official pronouncement on race relations.
