If a member of the Missouri Synod showed up in our congregation this morning they would have been shocked and not just by the hymns
How very strange! I was totally unfamiliar with the term "Missouri Synod" until about ten minutes before I read your post. I was watching (and crying) the National Memorial Concert on PBS. I decided to look up my old friend Brian, who died in Vietnam, and who is remembered on the Vietnam Wall in Washington D.C, And there, on his listing it said, "Religion: Lutheran and Missouri Synod."
