"Maybe he's thinking about Unitarians. They're kinda' mainstream in parts of Minnesota. Or at least mainbrook. Ok, maybe maintrickle."

Oh, not mainstream, the Unitarians. Oddly, though, there were a few of them among the Founders of this nation. Much maligned, though, the Unitarians, especially here on Free Republic.

And as for Minnesota, it's Catholics and Lutherans, mainly, with some Methodists mixed in there. Of course the Lutheran Church is much divided these days. All branches, however use the Nicene Creed, along with the Apostles' Creed.

Just the other day, I heard one of the Lutheran Synods called the "Misery" Synod. I thought that was pretty funny. They were formed in the state of Misery, I guess. [grin]

LOL. Being a Swedish Lutheran myself (presently in the ELCA, at least until the next synod free-for-all), with all the horse-hair shirt guilt and baggage that goes along with it, the "Misery Synod" is particularly apt.
