continuing education portfolio to be recorded under question 27 of
the Council of Presidents’ Self Evaluation Tool shall be approved,
once every three years, by an accreditation committee consisting of
three members of the faculty of each seminary selected by the board
of regents thereof; and be it further
Resolved, That this resolution is in no way intended to impede or
denigrate the work done, formally or informally, by organizations
such as Doxology, Grace Place, and others; through district pastoral
conferences and free conferences; through the Synod and its
agencies; by the Concordia University System institutions; or
through winkels and fraternal encouragement; and be it finally
Resolved, That the Synod seeks, and this resolution shall be
interpreted to ensure that formal academic theological continuing
education is conducted in a uniform manner, consistent with best
practices, recognizing that “We, though many, are one body in
Christ” (Rom. 12:5); it is a great blessing and unifying force for our
Synod, as we walk together, to look to the seminaries for consistent,
high quality, orthodox theological education that is uniform
throughout the Synod.
