Tradition
Tradition: \tra-’di-shan\ 1) an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (as a religious practice or a social custom). Lutherans are known to be rich in traditions. Whether you’re looking at our denomination’s roots in Germany, one of the many Lutheran churches here in the U.S., or a small rural Lutheran church […]
