What? The Lutheran church is what my (German, Chicagoan)
great-grandfather walked out on, a hundred or so years ago. (Family
story being, he took my grandmother and her elder sister, as little
girls, to church; the sermon was on original sin, he declared "my
daughters are not sinful," and never darkened the doors of the church
again. Don't care if it's true; love the story.)
