7 Concordia, the place Where We have spent the most valuable years of our lives, Was founded by emigrants from a foreign land as a heritage for their posterity. Leaving their homeland because of religious persecution, they found in America that freedom of thought and action so necessary for the growth and spreading of the Gospel of Christ. They, therefore, established this Concordia as a means by which they might safeguard for their children that freedom to Worship God unhindered. They established an insti- tution primarily devoted to the training of Lutheran clergy for Christ and His Kingdom, but also, from its very beginning, intent upon providing a higher education under Christian influence for such as did not have the ministry in view.
