What The World Thinks About Us


   What do people think about Lutherans?

   A recent totally unscientific, but interesting, study sought to discover what people thought about American Christian denominations.  Their method was to Google the words, “Why are [fill in the blank]…”

   Among the results for Anglicans were the words, “so liberal”, “converting to Catholicism”, “important”, and “wrong.”  For Evangelicals they were, “so judgmental”, “so annoying”, “republicans”, and “so crazy.”

   For Lutherans the words were, “on notice” (a Colbert Nation thing), “not Christians”, “wrong”, and “different.”

   Looks like some people were looking for reasons to disagree with us, and others.

   Do we care what the world thinks?  Only so we can understand and reach it for Jesus.
