Abstract

This article develops six dimensions from the legacy of the nineteenth century churchman, Wilhelm Loehe, usable for revitalizing the church. These dimensions involve mission, worship, equipping others, diakonia, open questions, and recovery of the “missionary.” References are made to the work of Loehe for shaping imagination about the future church. The legacy inherited from the individuals, congregations, and institutions formed by Wilhelm Loehe can provide a compass for orienting the future of a church aligned with the mission of the Triune God.
