Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The church is a mess. She is fractured. The number of different denominations and independent churches is in the thousands. Unbelievers look at the church and see division, turmoil, confusion. They see a church that has lost her way. And yet as great a mess as the church may be, the church is beautiful at the same time. With the beauty of holiness. Not because we've made her holy -- clearly we haven't, we can't and we never will! She is holy because Jesus has washed His Bride, cleansing her with His blood and making her spotless, without stain, wrinkle, or blemish.
