Blue,
I wouldn’t say I agree with everything Luther says either. We’ve found something we can agree on :-)

Many of my relatives attend the Central Lutheran Church here.
I have attended some services
Mostly funerals.
I go there every New Years with my Alaskan Native friends from the Sobriety Movement.
Have had many chats with the minster there. A relative of may wife.
They they sign a Sobriety Pledge for the New Year and I support them in that. How ever Graig told me once he would not insult my by giving me a pledge.
I was at a funeral once for a funeral for one of my wife's relatives and was asked to leave the Prayer Circle.
Fine I went out and set in the hallway. It's OK if someone is uncomfortable with me being there. The minister's wife came out and said that should have never happened and the family would like me in the Prayer Circle.
I did notice that the person that was offended that a "CULT" member was there was invited to come back when she was sober.
It would be improper to attend if it's going to disturb the service.
Pastor Joe always acts friendly and has said I'm welcome to visit any time. He understands my religion. I don't discuss my religion with him except to support the Sobriety Movement.
My wife's dance group sponsor's the Sobriety Movement here.
