I'm guessing these are Missouri Synod Lutherans -- you know, the young-earth-creationist, ordination-of-women-is-contrary-to-scripture, the-Pope-is-the-Antichrist Lutherans, not the hot-dish Lake Wobegon Lutherans.

Those Missouri Synod folks are a pretty rough bunch. I guess this is the Lutheran version of the Gideons.
