Web site celebrates Lutheran faith
MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL STAR TRIBUNE
It's not always easy being Lutheran. Be proud, but not too proud. Boast, but only to yourself. Eat Jell-O, but not too much.
And have fun? Well...
Two Lutheran guys in Moorhead, Minn., decided that even Lutherans could have fun and started a Web site: www.oldlutheran.com.
Its goal is to sell "authentic" Lutheran items, including a Martin Luther bobblehead doll, a sturdier version of the typical doll that looks remarkably like the Protester himself.
The Web site, titled Old Lutheran Gift Shoppe, was founded in 1999. It features T-shirts, office accessories and food products emblazoned with Lutheran theology.
It has also expanded into all kinds of things to help Lutherans laugh at themselves and enjoy their faith.
