You Know There are Lutheans in a Hotel When...

I spent three days last week at the Lutheran Education Association National Director of Christian Education Conference here in Dallas. That meant a lot of Lutherans in one hotel. I came away with some observation regarding Lutheran Culture and was motivated to develop the following: The Top Ten Ways You Know Lutherans Are Staying in a Hotel.

10. Beer truck idling in the parking lot.
9. "Wellkommen" on the hotel marquee.
8. Guest keep referring to the lobby as "the narthex."
7. Those LWML ladies at the concierge desks.
6. $4.99 potluck dinner in hotel restaurant.
5. Sighting of C. F. W. Walther look-a-like.
4. Tract Rack located next to registration counter.
3. Room numbers correspond to favorite hymns found in Lutheran Service Book.
2. Luther's Small Catechism found next to Gideon Bible in every room.
1. When you greet the hotel staff they respond, "And also with you."
