I honestly didn’t know that there was any sensitivity about the name “Lutheran”, particularly since Lutherans themselves used it. And also since we have Franciscans, and Dominicans, and Augustinians, so it didn’t seem out of the pale.

But you’ve acquitted yourselves well in explaining it, and now I will know (and will hopefully remember!) to be careful about that usage in the future.

For the most part, I don’t mind.

Life is to short to be offended. But there is history in those terms.

OK, but if somebody starts singing “Kumbaya”, we’re taking the beer and goin’ home.
