Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary (LTSS), located in Columbia, South Carolina is a theological seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America offering first and second professional theological degrees. John Bachman was the first to call for the formation of a seminary, and LTSS owes much of its existence to his impassioned call for a place to educate future pastors. The seminary maintained continuous enrollment until the time of the Civil War, when the entire student body, at this time consisting of exactly three students, left the school to join the Confederate Army. LTSS was again moved in 1885, this time to Newberry, South Carolina, to the campus of Newberry College, a four year college sponsored by the South Carolina Synod. The report concluded: LTSS is a seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and consists primarily of students who identify themselves as Lutherans. In 2004, in cooperation with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, LTSS began a program designed specifically for Baptist students at the seminary. In conjunction with the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, LTSS also offers students access to a Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree. The vast majority of students at LTSS are enrolled in a program of study leading to the M.Div.
