A very good article with lots of interesting information. Sometimes histories about the LCMS focus on just Walther and the Saxons, but this article does a good job of showing how important Wyneken and the Loehe "sendlings" were.

As important as Wyneken was, he wasn't present at the meeting at St. Paul's, Fort Wayne, during the summer of 1846 when a draft constitution for the synod was written. In 1845 old "Yellow Britches" had accepted a call to a congregation in Baltimore, MD (that would rename itself St. Paul's). The pastor at St. Paul's, Fort Wayne, in 1846 was Rev. Wilhelm Sihler, who was also instrumental in the formation of what is now the LCMS.
