Valley Grove Lutheran Church in Nerstrand, MN.

Valley Grove is a historic Lutheran church complex where two 19th-century churches stand side by side on a hilltop cemetery. Norwegian immigrants built the stone church in 1862, then a larger wooden one beside it in 1894.

Put together today that my mom’s second cousin Carrie Brue is Chris Tungseth’s aunt. We are all a few degrees from someone famous.

@liziemcc @garonnevik Three of @garonnevik’s grandmother’s first cousins were married to relatives of mine and another one of them lived in the house I now live in.

@GudimJason @LaLaLisaCooper @DrJordanBCooper @Acolyte_1 I was talking about them with Liz at camp and we were thinking they might be on campus this week!

@becomelutheran Definitely want to get this one!

[Timothy J. Larson 🦆 @tjlarson88]

@EMWelcher I realized I bought a copy a few years ago. Now I need to read it!

@HansFiene Indeed!

The Lutheran Church does not need bishops!

[The Luther Inn @TheLuthInn]

An LCMS overture to rename secular titles of district presidents and Synod president to bishop was struck down by the LCMS Floor Committee, preventing it from coming to a convention vote.

Notably, the proposal appears to have greater support among younger members of the LCMS.

@TheLuthInn Good. There do not need to be bishops in the Lutheran church!
