A tempest in a very small teapot…
Preus, the knight, and Moldstad, the yeoman, are in conflict. Both are faithful pastors and good men. The traditions which they represent are unsatisfactory to the informed laity of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod. There are only two church battles that I know of this summer. The first involves the election of a new Episcopalian bishop, a woman. The other, a tempest in a very small teapot, involves my church body, the Evangelical Lutheran Synod.

Yes, the ELS is like a very small teapot. A few fancy her to be a teapot of perfection to be viewed in a museum, which is ridiculous, for it is a regular teapot to be used every day. It has imperfections like other teapots, but good tea is brewed in it. In fact, it is the goal of the teapot to brew only the best tea. I’d better stop now with the lame analogies and get on to my real purpose of this post.A old face in blogging, gone for a bit, has returned to the Confessional Lutheran Blogosphere! I am SO very happy to re-introduce my friend, one of my husband’s sports buddies and fellow King of Grace church member, Norman Teigen. His thoughts on the ELS, the Minnesota Twins and a variety of topics, can be found at Norman’s Demesne.
Norman is quite a wordsmith, a world traveler (read about his very recent trip to London), a classical music expert and a great photographer, too.
Norman makes it clear that his opinions are his own, but he has a unique perspective to ELS affairs as the son of the late Dr. Bjarne Teigen.

Who are these people that are contending in the ELS?
