I have been a Lutheran Christian for 47 years and a Lutheran pastor for almost 19. I can answer most general questions about Luther, Lutheran History, Lutheran Theology, and a Lutheran approach to Biblical Interpretation. I am ELCA, for those who know what that means, and I tend to be moderate theologically. I hope that I can converse with those that are either more conservative or liberal than I, and especially with those who are really just seeking.

I am an LCMS Pastor. I can answer questions about Lutheran theology past and present, Lutheran and Protestant church history from the reformation onward. I can address Latin to English translation questions in the Lutheran Confessions. I am also well versed in American Protestant history of all types.

I am happy to field questions regarding Lutheran theology and practice, and it's context within the western catholic tradition. General questions on the Christian faith are also welcome.
