Lutheran Teachings
On Anti-Semitism
New York (JTA)— After repudi-
ating its founder's virulently anti-
Jewish attitudes last spring, the
main Lutheran church in Amer-
ica is beginning to teach its ad-
herents about anti-Semitism and
Martin Luther's role in promot-
ing it.
The Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America, which claims
5.2 million of this country's esti-
mated 8 million Lutherans as
members, adopted a declaration
last April rejecting Luther's anti-
Semitism.
Last week, the group's Con-
sultative Panel on Lutheran-Jew-
ish Relations met to map out a
two- to five-year plan for imple-
menting the new teachings.
The church's first step, ac-
cording to Franklin Sherman,
chair of that panel, will be to
make available to its 11,000 af-
filiated congregations study ma-
terials on Luther's anti-Jewish
attitudes.
After that, the movement will
work to implement the new
teachings at its seminaries.
"The study materials will deal
with the period of the Reforma-
tion and try to explain to Luther-
ans the whole history of
anti-Jewish teachings within the
Christian tradition, and Luther's
role in them," said Mr. Sherman,
who is also director of the Insti-
tute for Jewish-Christian Un-
derstanding at Muhlenberg
College, in Allentown, Pa.
Unique among schools in
North America with ties to the
Lutheran Church, Muhlenberg
has a sizable minority of Jews,
who make up about 20 percent of
its student body.
About a week before Mr. Sher-
man's panel met, the Lutheran
Church held a service of confes-
sion and a Lutheran-Jewish con-
vocation near Chicago, where the
church is headquartered.
On Nov. 13, after a service of
confession at Grace Lutheran
Church in River Forest, Ill., Bish-
op Sherman Hicks of the Metro-
politan Chicago Synod led about
200 Lutherans in a procession to
the nearby West Suburban Tem-
ple Har Zion.
There, before an audience of
approximately 450 Jews and
Lutherans, Bishop Hicks pre-
sented a large plaque inscribed
with a copy of the church's dec-
laration repudiating Luther's
teachings to two Jewish repre-
sentatives.
They were Rabbi Peter Kno-
bel, president of the Chicago
Board of Rabbis, and Maynard
Wishner, president of the Coun-
cil of Jewish Federations.
Bishop Hicks expressed sorrow
for his church's sins. "We confes-
sour sins. We repent for the
wrong that has been done. We
ask for forgiveness. As a bishop
of the church, it is with humili-
ty and gratitude that I present
this declaration to the Jewish
community," he said.
It was, said participants, a
highly dramatic and emotional
ceremony.
"To probe the deepest recess-
es of one's spiritual tradition and
to discover an anti-Jewish bias
so painful, so raw, and so dis-
turbing, is an act of courage,"
Rabbi A. James Rudin, national
director of interreligious affairs
at the American Jewish Com-
mittee, said in his remarks at the
service.
This kind of convocation may
be replicated by other Lutheran
and Jewish communities around
the country, Rabbi Rudin said.
The church's new
stance is an effort to
reconcile
contradictory
beliefs.
Protestant reformer Martin
Luther, who lived from 1483 to
1546, wrote several essays, in-
cluding the 1543 tract About the
Jews and Their Lies, condemn-
ing Jews for not converting to
Christianity. He advocated that
their synagogues be burned and
their books confiscated, and that
they be forbidden from teaching.
If they still refused to convert,
Luther wrote, "then we must dri-
ve them out like mad dogs, lest
we partake in their abominable
blasphemy and vices, deserving
God's wrath and being damned
along with them."
His teachings have been quot-
ed as justification by anti-Semi-
tes throughout history, and were
used most notably by Adolf
Hitler.
It was, in fact, a film shown at
the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Mu-
seum in Washington about the
roots of anti-Semitism that in
part led to the repudiation last
spring.
Several leaders of the Ameri-
can Lutheran Church visited the
museum and viewed the film. In
the film, woodcuts made of
Luther during his lifetime and
anti-Semitic caricatures of Jews
from the same era are projected
on the screen, while Luther's
anti-Semitic words are voiced
over the images and a narrator
