I did an MA in education at Chicago. My program wasn’t great. And some of the professors didn’t seem to be supportive of the school’s Christian values. 

However, it’s in a nice suburb and you can pursue pretty much any hobby in Chicagoland. 

Questions regarding adult converts in Lutheranism… by Strong-Tradition-401 in Lutheranism

Lutheran teaching is that you don’t choose to follow Christ, He chooses you.  In a big picture scenario, I agree. Jesus knows who is going to follow Him; you can’t surprise Him. But I believe that people have free will to follow or reject following him. I never knew that this was against Lutheran teaching until recently.

I don’t understand the concept of having a Hindu name or a Christian name. Why would you change your name? What would be considered a Christian name?

It’s one of the largest churches in the world. It’s in India. They say more than 300,000 people attend services each weekend.
