  1. #Lutheran #clergy in the centuries after the #reformation was a dense family network. Not only did the priests aspire that at least one son followed in their profession, they also networked to ensure their daughters married clergymen. In today's blog entry I've written up some of the resulting #matrilines in my #familyhistory.

  2. Henry Ester Jacobs, Lutheran theology professor, writes on the history of the Lutheran Church. He finds it necessary to mention German immigrants who tricked into transit, then trapped in debt, near slavery, and separation of families.

    Hasn’t a tendency to advocate against “social agendas” been a reason to break away from Lutheran denominations today?

    How can you speak up for those exploited and away from home?

  3. Samuel Laird, Lutheran pastor, was known for a “strict adherence to the Confessions.” All of Christ’s works were for relief of suffering & distress of the poor & outcast. All of his invitations were for the weary and sin burdened. Christ came to seek and save that which was lost.

    Let us see this Jesus. Are some offended at a Christ relieving suffering for sake of sufferers? That he “saves” “lost” sinners?
