About me

I am a Confessional Lutheran who is a member of a congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. But that does not keep me from talking to people who do not share the same views as myself.

Dr. Spitz also mentioned the Book of Kells as having evidence of Egyptian influence. St. Patric...
