    Re: Religion Thread: ...and suddenly, everyone's a theology scholar

    The ECLA owns the rights to "Davey and Goliath". Being a good Catholic boy, when I first heard "A Mighty Fortress" in church, I thought they were playing the Davey & Goliath theme song.

    I would lean towards the Missouri Synod side of the Lutherans if I jumped ship (which I can't/won't).

    Am I dating myself with the Davey & Goliath reference??

        Yes and no. It's been referenced in other more current shows, so there's a chance that younger people - even younger than me at 40, will know the reference even if they haven't seen a single episode of it.

          Saw Davey and Goliath in church when I was a kid, and even Robot Chicken spoofed it.

              It turns out St. Jerome was not the first to translate the Bible into Latin.

                  Really? I think I grew up on a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church, and it was very liberal. Love everybody, forgive everybody, believe in Jesus, be tolerant, work hard, drink a little, howl at the moon a little now and then if you need to, love everybody again.

                  Come to think of it, there seemed to be a lot of swingers in that small community.

                    We have one up here. No women are allowed in leadership. No women are allowed to teach Sunday School to boys over the age of 12 because men have dominion over women. Can't take communion in another church because only the Misouri Synod is the correct way. I can't remember all of it but the one up here is like a Lutheran Fundy church

                      Wow. I must be mistaken then, because that is totally unlike what I was exposed to. Still strayed away a long time ago, though.

                        You sure you aren't thinking of the WELS? We had one of their members on these threads occasionally - Timothy A.

                        And yeah, they are a "missionary while thinking of Jesus" type church.

                          Maybe it's just politics? They are apparently currently being led by a prize f-ckwit.

                          More moderate members of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod have clashed with conservatives before. In 1974, conservative Lutherans accused John Tietjen, then president of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis — an institution that trains future synod leaders — of failing to insist on a literal instruction of the Bible, especially the Old Testament.The controversy led the majority of Concordia’s faculty and students to walk out of the school in protest. Many eventually formed Seminex, a “seminary in exile,” at St. Louis University and Eden Theological Seminary. Seminex has since disbanded.

                          Tietjen helped organize in 1976 the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches, a collection of congregations that opted to leave the Missouri Synod.

                          As a leader of the group, Tietjen helped merge it in 1987 with the Lutheran Church in America and the American Lutheran Church. That merger created the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran denomination in the U.S.

                          Some argue the 1970s schism left the church bereft of more moderate members, setting the stage for leaders such as Harrison. In a surprise defeat of a more liberal three-term incumbent — the Rev. Gerald Kieschnick — delegates of the denomination elected Harrison president in 2010.

                          Harrison’s victory represented a conservative ideological shift for the denomination, which has come with its set of challenges.

                          In 2013, for example, Harrison made headlines when in the wake of the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., he asked a church pastor to apologize for participating in an interfaith vigil.

                          The church’s constitution prohibits members from taking part in worship services that blend the beliefs and practices of Lutherans with those of other faiths and Christian denominations.
