If you have a moment, feel free to add a comment and let us know who you, and where you are from. Thanks for reading.

Dear Paul,
I have been sharing these (your) links because they are concise and comprehensive with appropriate commentary. Thank you.
In Christ’s love and service,

Rev. McCain,
Hey, my name is Brett, I’m from south central Pennsylvania, and I’ve been reading your blog for a little while now. I love the sorts of products you guys at CPH are making like the Treasury of Daily Prayer and this new Lutheran Study Bible. And SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT: I’ve just started up blogging myself at onroughseas.wordpress.com
Thanks,
Thanks! I’m fairly new to the Lutheran denomination. After a few years of searching, I found both a worship style and a sound doctrine that I can identify with. I joined a large church in Atlanta three years ago after having visited for a few months. Since then, I have enjoyed learning more about what it means to be a Lutheran and growing in Christ.
I was devastated by the decision of the ECLA this past week and was looking for some comfort and meaning when I found your blog. I appreciate your ministry! Thanks for letting me know that there are other people going through the same thing I am. Keep up the good work!
Please pray for me as I seek a new church home.
Hello,
I’m a fellow blogger living in Nashville. I’m not a Lutheran, but a bit obsessive compulsive with church news.
I’m serving in Western North Dakota and I’ve been following this blog for months as we were running up to the ELCA Churchwide Assy. All I can say is “what a mess” we’ve created for ourselves… Lord have mercy!
I’m an ELCA refugee. Our family left five years ago for the LCMS after it became clear that they were going to continue to push for homosexual pastors. We were already deeply disturbed by their rejection of scripture on several other matters, but my husband tried to stay and work from inside the system to steer the congregation toward a better path. Once we had children, we had to get them out of the line of fire as it were. We’re happy to be confessional Lutherans now. The drive to town is not easy, but our family’s spiritual health is worth it. I found this site by way of listening to pirate christian radio, a site I found on the LCMS facebook page.
I’m an LCMS congregation member who resides in Milwaukee, WI.
Attend an LCMS church in Northern California. Thank you, Pastor McCain for your cyberbretheren blog. I read it everyday. Our family and I have been attending for 4 months, coming from Traditional Roman Catholicism. The Book of Concord is one of best books I’ve ever read! Already pre-ordered The Lutheran Study Bible! Can’t wait. Biblical, historical, confessional Lutheranism is true.
Pr. McCain,
I’m a member of the ELCA and recently graduated with an MDiv from one of the ELCA seminaries. I stumbled across your blog shortly before the ELCA’s CWA. It has become a part of my daily reading. Thank you.
I am a pastor from the corn fields of Iowa. I have been coming here off and on for a for a few years now, but now read it daily with Google Reader. Thank you for the timely updates. God bless.
