I’m glad my grandparents go to a strict Lutheran church. I believe it’s the Missouri Snyod. My great-grandfather was a
Lutheran pastor. He was strict.

These people are just playing at “church”. There’s no reality in it. It’s pretty pathetic, really.

The big problem is when these people present themselves as “ordained ministers” and a “Christian community” when they’re pushing some social or political issue, as they always do. Then they can use their bogus “authority” to fool the sheeple into accepting their leftist, “human rightser” causes. But their “ordinations” and “communities” are shams, so no one should believe or follow them.

After years of declining membership, two Lutheran churches in Berwyn recently were forced to merge.

So we've gone from two dwindling churches to one.

Calm, charismatic and serene in the strength of her faith

It would be fascinating to chat with Martin Luther and define the differences between her faith and his.

This is a blow for all Christians — not just Lutherans.
