The Lutherans are here

I started talking with Pastor Joe at Atonement. Things that seemed so clear that night became muddled again. I was raised United Methodist, but was attending a Lutheran church. What to do? What to do?

I applied to St. Paul’s School of Theology and got in! It was all moving well. Still I had to decide on a faith. In reality, I did not see the point. Aren’t we all for Christ? Still, it was their world and I was trying to break in. I was torn. I ended up declaring Lutheran because I was currently attending Atonement. This did not sit well with me.

I was at Atonement not because of some decision other than that’s where my friends were. I did not rate that very high on the spiritual scale for good reasons. On the other hand, did it really matter? It seemed to, and I’m still not sure why. Still, I plugged away through the application and enrollment process at school. I started working on my endorsements from the Lutheran church.
