∙ 15y agoMartin Luther was the leader of the Protestant Reformation during the early 1500s. His teachings became the CORNERSTONE of the church that bears his name.
Henry Melchior Muhlenberg (1711-1787) was the "Father" of American Lutheranism. He arrived in Pennsylvania from Germany in 1742 to serve as pastor for several small Lutheran congregations. His teaching and organizing skills soon made him a respected leader. Among the churches he served was the Augustus Lutheran Church in Trappe, PA--today the oldest unaltered Lutheran church building in the U.S. In Philadelphia, Muhlenberg organized the first meeting of Lutheran clergy and laymen in America. The meeting led to the formation of the Ministerium of Pennsylvania, which remained a strong influence in the Lutheran community for many years. Muhlenberg was one of the authors of the first Lutheran constitution, which described congregational organization and gave parishioners a voice in church affairs.
