“That noted, putting aside old divisions would lead to a united Christian front composed of the Roman Catholic church and other churches as independent allies - a Christian answer to the “coalition of the willing.””

This could never happen, as I see more “Christianity” in Orthodox Judaism or Islam than I see in the far-left “Christian” churches. Roman Catholics probably have more in common with the former than the latter; Catholics that see Christ in those “far-left churches” certainly aren’t in union with Rome or Christ.

funny and yet sad — it’s time to re-evangelize W. Europe

The thing is that WELS and LCMS would not be welcome there. There are synods that we are in communion with in Germany and Scandanavia, but they are restricted by the state (the state churchs don’t like them).

It may be the Orthodox who have the best shot.

Ah yes, the damned state rules for registration. Yes, the Orthodox may have the best shot. Now we got to get them to actively evangelize in Germania and Scandanavia!
