Bishop Hanson Invites You to the 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering

[NixonisLord]

 "Differently abled" and "multicultural center": could there be anything more boring and vapid and typically Mainline Protestant that these tedious and self-important words? If given the choice between summer in New Orleans and root canal, I'd go for root canal anytime. In fact, I'd take root canal over church anytime.

I like mark hanson and even more love the elca! Proud lifelong member!

[NixonisLord]

@andrewflatt17 you were born in 1988? Cause that's when the ELCA began-its long, slow decline. By 2045, by Hanson's own account, the last ELCA member will be dead.

Mark Hanson: shut up and go away. You are neither a Lutheran, and certainly not Christian.

[hendrixforever92]

i miss new orleans

[ElegantDepravity]

Haha. I loved that trip so much. New Orleans-- Wait, I mean N'Awleans, was amazingly fun. We got floor seats two days in a row. Although most people hated the humidity, That was the best thing in the world.

I'm glad you loved our city! I was part of the only church from New Orleans there. It was great having so many people come and help the city. Hopefully you come back one day.

P.S. It's N'awlins. :D

[ElegantDepravity]

Haha, my mistake. My friend told me I had spelled it wrong when I spelled it like you did. And I still think it's odd that a lot of people were from the north. It took forever, but we finally found another church from Texas.
