Happy 75th Anniversary Southeastern District
The official birthdate is July 29, 1939. A
historical moment from Dr. L.F. Frerking "The Southeastern District was
formed in 1939 through a happily arranged "marriage" of congregations
formerly affiliated with two districts of the Lutheran Church - Missouri
Synod, namely, The English and Eastern Districts. Its roots and
forebears, however, went back more than a century to the old Tennessee
Synod in North Carolina and Virginia, and in Maryland to the old General
Synod and the very beginning of Missouri Synod history." (Dr. Frerking
was president of the SED in 1969-1963.)
