I took my son and we went to the LCMS and were happy there, but a move and two questionable Pastors later, I was without a church home for over a year, not attending, not communing.
Last month I remarried and my bride said that she wanted a church home after an adult life without one. We received a post card from the local Anglican Church in America, met with the Priest, and have attended three times. I believe we have found a church home where God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, along with the Gospel of Christ are bedrock upon which the church resides.
The Anglican Church is not afraid to proclaim its resistance to social engineering and perversion in the name of sophistication.
It works for me, though I will miss the loving arms of the American Lutheran Church.
I see you are in New Hampshire? I know it’s a large area but there is a WELS congregation in Amherst, NH. It doesn’t appear to be a large congregation, as many WELS churches aren’t. (My cousin’s son is one of the pastors there.)
My new wife and I understand the challenge of finding a welcoming and faithful church home. We were made uncomfortable at our old ELCA church, despite that being where my son was baptized and is buried. I got divorced and remarried, but my bride and I were not happy with the ELCA church where we met (after the divorce).
We have visited several Lutheran churches and think we have found a new church home. The pastor and congregation are strong believers and made us feel very welcome. I suppose it doesn’t hurt that the pastor is a FReeper... ;-)
