Saint Louis Lutheran (Saint Louis, Missouri) Records

The The St. Louis Lutheran, the reporting organ of the Saint Louis Lutheran Publicity Organization, was founded on September 23, 1945. The paper was first published bi-weekly by the organization, but on January 22, 1977, after a severe financial crisis had nearly forced the paper to cease operations, the schedule of monthly publication was initiated.

The editors of the paper have been: Gerhardt Mahler, 1945-1952, Harold Schultz, 1953-1954, Richard Hanneman, 1954, Arnold A. Wessler, 1954-1963, Walter Riess, 1963, Herbert H. Mirly, 1964-1968, Doris M. Unger, 1969-1974 as Managing Editor, and 1974-1975 as Editor, and Peter Faur, 1975-1977 (April 18). The position of editor was made a part-time position in 1977, thus Peter Faur became the Interim Editor until someone can be found to fill the part-time editorship.
