" It is well known that the CLC became involved in the mission effort in Nigeria largely through the intervention of Mr. Oscar Erpenstein, who with his wife was a charter member of St. Stephen Lutheran Church in the west-bay area south of San Francisco. It may not be quite as well known how the Erpensteins initially came into contact with our CLC. Here is the story. The story began with my being called to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church at Hecla, South Dakota in November of 1961. Because the only other Lutheran church in that town was a congregation of the American Lutheran Church, I began subscribing to the ALC periodical, the “Lutheran Standard, ” to acquaint myself with doctrinal trends in that church body. The December 4, 1962 issue of the “Lutheran Standard” contained an article that defended the theory of evolution. Among other things, the writer said: “The principle of evolution is now as well established as atomic theory; it is as well documented and verified as any scientific principle known. ” While I knew that the ALC had been going downhill in matters of scriptural doctrine, I was nevertheless shocked at this bold statement. So I began reading the letters to the editor in subsequent issues to see how members of the ALC would respond. " (from the Lutheran Spokesman) ; Signed by Author. Very Good .
