	LCMS News - John Tietjen dies; seminary president during controversy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Tietjen was the seminary's president from 1969 to 1974, when he was suspended by its board of control primarily on what was reported as "charges of malfeasance in performing the duties of his office and advocacy of false doctrine."
		Tietjen was instrumental in formation of the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches, a group of about 400 Missouri Synod congregations that merged with the Lutheran Church in America and The American Lutheran Church to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) in 1987.
		Tietjen was elected to be the first bishop of the ELCA's Metropolitan Chicago Synod in 1987, but resigned four months later, reportedly over differences regarding appointments to the bishop's staff.

	Schism Memoirs
		As Tietjen tells it, J. Preus represented a "conservative" faction in the Missouri Synod concerned that certain segments of the denomination were becoming too liberal in their response to new theological and ecumenical agendas.
		Tietjen believes that the struggle over Concordia Seminary was an essential element of Preus’s plan to solidify his control of the church and impose his brand of orthodoxy on the entire denomination.
		Tietjen’s own efforts to defend the faculty and gain a tenable compromise ultimately became grounds for his dismissal on the charge of "allowing and fostering false doctrine." At best, conservatives feared that any hint of compromise was really a form of equivocation on their nonnegotiable doctrinal principles.

		Tietjen and the faculty majority never were able to determine just exactly what was the basis for the charges of false doctrine being leveled.
		The final vote was "513 against Tietjen and 394 for justice." After the vote Tietjen said that he "had been grievously wronged by the publication of matters relating to overtures for his resignation" and he forgave the convention because it "did not know what it was doing." Minority members gave him a five-minute standing ovation.
		Acting on advice of legal counsel, Tietjen advised the board that their action was "illegal and ultra vires (beyond the scope of legal authority)." After additional private discussion the board voted to delay implementation of its suspension.

		Tietjen refused to accept his suspension and threatened legal action, causing the board to delay the suspension.
		Tietjen was formally removed from the official seminary in late 1974, and he soon was appointed president of Seminex.
		Tietjen’s camp believed that the professors deserved to have broad latitude in policing themselves, while Preus wanted the school to be on a tighter leash. It was, in all likelihood, a combination of these issues that drove the crisis at the seminary.

		Given John's alleged fascination with the city's rich blend of cultures, it seems odd that the narrative focuses almost exclusivelyAand to its detrimentAon a cast of middle-class, Caucasian characters.
		John Tietjen, a divorced father of two, has an uneasy relationship with his ex-wife and children, but a passionate relationship with New York.

		But Tietjen’s attempt to depict the so-called Preus Party as politically motivated, an attempt frequently made by a number of the faculty majority in those days and since then, is an attempt to avoid the fact that there really were major differences over doctrine.
		John Tietjen claimed that the faculty used historical criticism with solid Lutheran presuppositions.
		The point Tietjen and others neglected to reveal was that the method came with its own presuppositions.

	“Unprecedented Intolerance”
		In September 1945, forty-four LCMS pastors and laymen who were connected with the ALPB met privately in Chicago and signed “A Statement.” This document put forth their views regarding what was considered to be a legalistic and loveless attitude within the Synod using a confessional format which included “We affirm…” and “We therefore deplore” statements.
		The document is commonly referred to as “A Statement of the 44.” President John Behnken became personally involved and appointed a committee called “The Ten and Ten” to resolve the situation.
		The faculty majority voluntarily walked out and left the Synod in February 1974 because John Tietjen had been temporarily suspended from his office as seminary president.

		Tietjen, 75, was pastor emeritus of Trinity Lutheran Church, Fort Worth, where his funeral was held Feb. 19, followed by interment at Greenwood Memorial Park in the Fort Worth area.

	TIME.com: Civil War in the Synod -- Sep. 25, 1972 -- Page 1
		President Tietjen mounted his own counterattack, delivering to all Synod pastors a 35-page document that declared the fact-finding committee's report "unfair," "unreliable," "untrue," "unscriptural" and "un-Lutheran." Tietjen quoted several faculty members who enumerated the ways in which they felt they had been misunderstood or quoted out of context by the fact-finding committee.
		While defending the use of modern methods of biblical criticism (rejected by Preus), the faculty argued that their cautious use of these methods at Concordia does not jeopardize basic Lutheran beliefs.
		What is in jeopardy, Tietjen believes, is the very existence of the church: "I fear that the issuance of the Preus report has set in motion a course of events after which we won't be able to put the pieces of the Missouri Synod back together again."
