Lutheran Rome

by Nina

I am going to be bold and say that Minneapolis/St Paul is like a modern day Lutheran Rome. There are so many churches, people, and Lutheran cultural practices in this place.

There are churches to visit. Congregations of various sizes, styles, traditions, locations, cultures. There are Lutheran denominations I'd never heard of. There are countless Lutherans wandering the streets, serving us coffee, teaching us Hebrew, telling stories on our radio. Lutherans are everywhere.

This Roman empire also has its share of local Lutheran musicians. This week there are two shows to satisfy your Advent desire for music a
nd your deep theological convictions to Lutheranism. (I know, I'll wait for you to stop cheering and clapping).






So the Lu
theran musical duo, Tangled Blue is playing an Advent CD release show at The Warren (4400 Osseo Road, Minneapolis MN 55412, 612-703-9609) on Friday, December 12 at 7 PM. Tickets are $10.





The Lutheran musician,
Jonathan Rundman is playing a CD release and Christmas concert (full band) at Pilgrim Lutheran Church (1935 St Clair Ave, St Paul, MN 55105, 651-699-6886) on Saturday, December 13 at 6:51 PM. Tickets are $12.


Brave the cold and plan for yourself a little Lutheran musical culture this weekend....I dare you.
