Re: Lutheran president retains his post
I grew up as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. Like many of the old Germans in my congregation, the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod's conservatism sometimes leads to rigidity. But, as a Catholic looking back, I have more respect for that denomination than I ever did growing up in it. It tenaciously holds on to orthodox biblical teaching and, importantly, the liturgy. It practices closed communion, as does the Catholic Church.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
