Wittenberg Trail

I’ve been an LCMS Lutheran forever.  I was baptized, confirmed, and was married in the LCMS church.  I’ve been a Sunday School Teacher, youth leader, youth director, choir member, and elder in LCMS churches.  However I never really looked closely at what it means to be a Lutheran.  Through Josh’s blog, a great read btw, I was introduced to a number of “Confessional Lutheran” blogs.  Reading those blogs I started to think more about my faith and what it means to be a Lutheran.  That thinking along with seeing “Wittenberg Trail” mentioned on a number of these sites convinced me to join the Wittenberg Trail recently.  Since joining and reading some of the discussions I’ve realized there’s a lot of stuff I didn’t know.  For example I had heard about the Book of Concord but never thought of it as a teaching tool for laity.  I noticed there’s lots of other materials there to learn from so I can be more involved in learning (it doesn’t stop with confirmation) so that I can be involved by questioning things I see happening in my church that don’t seem right.

If you are a member of the LCMS who hasn’t heard about Wittenberg Trail or want to know learn more about the Lutheran faith I encourage you to check it out.
