During the last five months I have been working on distributing archival material from the former editor of the Kirchliches Monatsblatt fuer das Evangelisch-Lutherische Haus / Church Monthly for the Evangelical Lutheran Home. I have also added much material to this large amount of information from my own personal records and library. If you are interested in getting the two CDs/DVDs, of the KM please let me know. It is basically the only historical record of bilingual Lutheran/Reformed/United ministry in Canada and in the USA during the last 40 years ever since the Kirchenbote, Der Lutheraner and Das Gemeindeblatt ceased to be published for the German Congregational Church, the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. If you read German this may be of interest to you as the two disks have all the issues from 1943 to the end of 2012. If you wish to read the new issue or just see what it looks like (after an break of about 14 months) just google Kirchliches Monatsblatt Ostern 2014 and you will be able to find the link. Reading the notes below may be of interest to you if you are looking to connect with or know about local German-heritage groups or congregations.
