Not to be terribly difficult, but I'm not Lutheran. You assume an association that I don't.
Methodists trace through the Anglicans to the Old English Catholic Church which had its foot in the orthodox camp.
Most, however, when they say "C"atholic Church mean Roman Catholic.
Nonetheless, I still wouldn't say that they "wrote" it. Abingdon Press puts out a lot of books, but they don't write them.
sorry, brother. I thought you were Lutheran. Methodists are nice. I remember going to a Methodist Church in my home town. They hosted a dance for teens. I have NEVER met a grumpy or angry Methodist. I have never met one who is unkind. <P. You fellas are awfully nice and boring. Maybe you ought to get a few Irish to come over and liven things up :)
