Description
If the heartbeat of Loehe's theology is like that of the human heart, the diastolic moment is worship and the systolic moment is mission. In worship the people of God encounter Jesus Christ in Word and Sacrament, confessing their faith, and are taken up into the missio Dei as they are propelled into the world as agents of the gospel's mission. The life of Loehe testifies how from his earliest engagement in public ministry to the very end of his life his pulse beat with a passion both for liturgical renewal and for spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. Already during his time of university study and in his first parishes, Loehe became notorious for organizing missionary circles and missionary societies. Between the years 1826 (when during his studies he became captivated by the pietistic theology of Professor Johann Christian Krafft) and 1837 (when he arrived as pastor of the village church at Neuendettelsau), Loehe's missionary theology acquired new accents, i.e., that mission requires praxis, mission necessitates the church, mission entails confessional loyalty, and mission involves pastoral care.
