Sounds good to me. I'm an ex-old-ELC Lutheran. So far the LCMS appears to this outsider to be weathering the gale force winds of modernism & such

So far the LCMS appears to this outsider to be weathering the gale force winds of modernism & such. . . .

Well, the LCMS may have weathered modernism in the '60s and '70s, but we're having a lot of trouble with post-modernism in the '90s and '00s. We may have won our first "Thirty Years' War" (1945-1975), against liberalism, modernism, etc.--"the Battle for the Bible." But I'm afraid we are losing our second "Thirty Years' War" (1980-present), against post-modernism, church-growthism, etc.--"the Battle for the Gospel," "the Battle to Remain Lutheran." That one is not going so well right now.
