Kramer Chapel at Concordia Theological Seminary can seat about 600 -650 on a good day. There are times in the year that it is full to capacity, and there are times when only its Baptistry is full. But one thing is certain and true: there is always singing going on in that building. Its bricks are diamond shaped (the Concordia Brick) with an angle that shoots the ceiling 90 some feet up into the air. The volume of the space and the drastic vertical roof line remind us that even at school, God takes care of his children as he showers them lavishly with his love from on high. And daily this community sings its confession, filling Kramer’s beautiful modern space, rising toward heaven like incense. We sing because we can’t help it. God opens our lips and the notes just fall out. All the praise and glory to the one that suffered and died so that we live. Of course, congregations of the Lutheran Church all over the world sing their praises to God - confessing Christ as their Savior. Somehow these notes and beautiful confessions of faith bring a family together. Men and women from all over the world become one in Kramer Chapel. These songs are another teaching moment…another moment of formation. This process of formation isn’t the same as making lawyers and doctors…this process involves God using his word to get into the depth of man to form and shape future pastors and deaconesses. Come visit Kramer Chapel and hear the music, join the song, and pray with us. Even if you don’t think you want to be a pastor or deaconess, it still belongs to you. So come on over and have a visit. We’d love to see you.
