Emanuel Greenwald was born on January 13, 1811 near Frederick, Maryland, the son of Christian and Mary Magdalena (Smith) Greenwald. He was of Swiss descent, his great-grandfather having emigrated to Pennsylvania to escape conscription. His father, a carpenter whose daily reading was in the Bible and Arndt’s Wahres Christentum, resolved as the result of a dream to educate his son for the ministry.
Emanuel studied the ancient languages and theology under the Rev. David Frederick Schaeffer at Frederick, walking the four miles to town every morning and returning in the evening. At the end of five years, when his course of instruction was completed, he had tramped 14, 000 miles. This training for the ministry, though deficient on the formal side, was on the practical side excellent.
Greenwald was licensed to preach October 18, 1831, stowed his books and clothes in his saddle-bags, and started westward to find himself a charge somewhere beyond the mountains. He dismounted October 27 at New Philadelphia, Ohio, to deliver a letter, preached the next evening to the settlers, and stayed for twenty years.
Young, robust, indefatigable in the service of his Master, he established fourteen preaching stations in the surrounding country and for a time visited all of them regularly, conning his sermons on horseback as he forded the Tuscarawas or followed through the forest the blazes cut for him by his parishioners. Living was cheap; for his first year’s board he paid thirty-five dollars and taught his host’s two sons for an hour a day.
He was ordained at Lancaster, Ohio, June 2, 1836, issued the first number of the Lutheran Standard October 24, 1842, and continued to edit it for two years, and was president of the English District Synod of Ohio from 1848 to 1850. During these strenuous years he developed that genius for the pastoral office that made him in Ohio and later in Pennsylvania one of the most beloved of ministers.
In 1851 he moved to Columbus to organize an English Lutheran congregation in connection with Capital University, which had been founded in 1850. In order to sustain himself he at the same time resumed the editorship of the Standard. As an upholder of confessional Lutheranism he soon found himself engaged in controversy with Benjamin Kurtz of the Lutheran Observer, who was the leading advocate of the “new measures”; he did the Lutheran Church lasting service at this time by opposing revivals and other innovations of the “American Lutherans. ” Disagreements also arose nearer home over the management of Capital University and over the language question.
Greenwald found his position growing unbearable and withdrew in September 1854 to Christ Church, Easton, Pennsylvania. There he built up a strong congregation by giving intelligent attention to the religious instruction of the younger members. In the controversies that led to the formation of the General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America he was again on the conservative side and thought it desirable to find a congregation entirely in accord with his views.
In May 1867 he became pastor of Holy Trinity, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he remained till his death. His work there was the climax of his career. Some idea of his pastoral work may be gained from the fact that in the last year of his life, when he was ill and frail, he made five hundred parochial calls.
