I have enough trouble understanding Lutherans... ;)
Merry Christmas!
No problem. It’s a little “inside baseball”.
I know what you mean by “understanding Lutherans”. One time we were seated near a group of ladies who were catching a meal after choir practice. They were talking loud enough so that I couldn’t help but over-hear. It seems that the father of one of them (a widower) had married a widow lady from a different Synod in a different town. Instead of being happy for the old gentlman, the pastor of his home church (which he had helped build)publicly EXCOMMUNICATED him for marrying into a different Synod. Not a different religion. A different Synod.
