This blog is a record of the personal musings and ramblings of an opinioned, High-Church, gay, Lutheran pastor and curmudgeon, who is hard to pigeonhole. I am an unapologetic advocate of the “Great Tradition” of Christianity. No friend of fundamentalism, relativism, deconstructionism, or identity politics, I object to any ideology, conventional orthodoxy, or political correctness standing in the way of Christian faithfulness, charity, and the joy of New Life in Christ Jesus.
