Thanks for passing this on. I heartily agree, before anyone builds a church or renovates, take a look at the greats. When I saw "Historic Trinity" I thought it was Trinity Soulard, MO. As I recall they had a pulpit which had ceramic figures of the apostles, and on the front center there had been a statue of Christ, until an earthquake broke that statue. They wrote to the old country for a replacement and recieved a statue of Dr. Luther instead.
All I can say is, "WooHoo!!!!" I agree President Harrison.

ReplyDeleteI asked on Weedon's blog, "What other historic LCMS churches (along with Trinity Soulard) approach that level of grandeur?
ReplyDeleteIt may be time to organize a pilgrimage!
Hi Mark
