There are many heroes from WWII, and whenever I come across a name I’ve never heard of, I always like to publicise it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer - A pastor and devoted Lutheran Christian who opposed the Nazi regime and simply wanted peace. Unfortunately, this kind and heroic man paid the ultimate price for his beliefs…

Johann Arndt, German #Lutheran theologian, on “true Christianity”. The experience of divine compassion in God’s mercy does create compassion for neighbors in need of mercy.

Today, entire TV networks are available to help one consider how people in difficulty have made their own bed.

How can you view the needs of those around you in light of God’s provision and mercy to you?

"From the experience of the divine mercy arises charity to our neighbor; for no man can be uncharitable who has ever been affected by a sense of the divine compassion. Who can refuse to lend to his neighbor, that considers that God, from pure mercy, has bestowed himself upon us?"

"Walz is Lutheran, as is more than 20% of the Minnesota population.…

Walz, who was sworn in as Minnesota’s governor in January 2019, sometimes describes himself as a 'Minnesota Lutheran,' an identity he frames as a sort of Midwestern cultural subtype. …

'Because we’re good Minnesota Lutherans, we have a rule: If you do something good and talk about it, it no longer counts,' Walz said after he was introduced."

~ Jack Jenkins

"Lee wasn't just a pastor who happened to have a political affinity for Trump. He actively misused his authority as a minister to try to gain access to [Ruby] Freeman against her will -- and to dissuade police from intervening."

Lee drove to Georgia from Chicago and targeted election worker Ruby Lee, attempting to intimidate her, and is now facing charges for that reason.

Faithful America has a petition online calling on the president of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, LCMS President, Rev. Matthew C. Harrison, to expel Rev. Stephen Lee from ordained ministry after the role Lee played in Trump's attempt to subvert the 2020 election, for which Lee has been indicted.

An email Faithful America sent out re: this petition states the following:

I've been asked to participate on a committee at church on how to better foster an atmosphere and community of diversity and inclusion. I'm honored.

I'm also a white, cis, hetero male. You know, not the most disadvantaged or challenged person on earth.

I'd *love* for Christians (and others) from communities and social groups other than my own to help me understand what would make a faith community feel welcoming to *you* if you care to share?

AI #Religion? Hundreds attend #church service at a convention of #Protestants generated by #ChatGPT.

The artificial intelligence #chatbot asked believers in a fully packed #Lutheran church to rise from the pews and praise the Lord then commenced to preach.

The avatar, personified as a bearded Black man on a huge screen above the altar, had an expressionless face and monotonous voice. Its use of platitudes, in deadpan voice, drew some laughter as it preached.

Faith #Lutheran Church in Cambridge destroyed in an Easter fire bostonglobe.com/2023/04/10/met I went there once or twice for a cross-congregation game night, and Rev. Lutjohann was a Harvard Divinity School student and in the young adult and grad student group with me at UniLu when I was a member. Very sad.
