A list of famous (and some not-so-famous) Lutherans performed by Lost & Found. Please note: I did not write this song, so I am not responsible for who is or is not included in the list.
Lost and Found..... Thank you for bringing the joy,happiness and Gods word through song to all of us. Myself and my fellow Lutherans from St.James,NY wish you both all the best!!
Thanks for posting this video! Yay for Luther and Lutherans! It bothered Martin Luther a lot when everyone wanted to call the church the Lutheran Church, but he was out-voted by everyone else, since they revered him so much for what he had done. We must be on the right track, too, since we're under so much attack, and serious attack at that. God bless all of you and those for whom you care.
Oh my gosh! I recognize the pastors and that church in the last few moments of this video. It is really where I got my start as a Lutheran in Hawaii. So cool. Definitely Lutheran swag! Proud to be a Lutheran. Even more proud to be a Christian.
I've seen them used in a few churches here, but often if kids are acolytes, they're just in street clothes. In our church, the ushers light the candles and they're in their suits/skirts.
@scapino1974 Woody Harrelson is not Lutheran but his character on Cheers "Woody" was Lutheran. Bruce Willis was confirmed LCMS but I don't know if he still considers himself Lutheran. David Soul, the blond guy on Starsky and Hutch was raised David Solberg, the son of a Lutheran minister in South Dakota
S:t Olaf of Norway and S.t Bridget of Sweden, patroness of Europe, are the only canonized saints of the Catholic Church who you could say are shared with the evangelical lutheran national Churches of Norway and Sweden. S:t Bridget is venerated in the Church of Sweden, especially among the members of Societas Sanctae Birgittae, who also have some American members.
Don't quote me on this, but I think Chuck Norris is (or at one point was) a Lutheran. I love Lost and Found. Totally saw them at the National Youth Gathering a couple years ago.
The ALC was formed in 1960, the LCA in 1962. In 1988 the ALC, the LCA and AELC merged to form the ELCA. The AELC was a group that broke away from the Missouri Synod in 1977 over the conflict at Concordia Seminary in St Louis in the mid 1970s.
Loved the song - reminds me of Garrison Keilor once saying everyone in Minnesota was a Lutheran - even the atheists - because it was the Lutheran God they did not believe in. But Tom Landry was United Methodist - long time member of Highland Park UMC, Dallas - where George and Laura Bush were also members.

@pipeup1 It could be he couldn't find a Lutheran church close enough. Rehnquist (a Swedish name, which until recently had the official church as Lutheran) also went to Catholic Mass with Nino Scalia! It is not unusual for people of different denominations to visit other churches. In fact, the Episcopalians and the Lutherans have come to a loose confederation, exchanging ministers in some cases.
There were actually quite a few people this election who were Lutheran at some point. Bachmann was WELS up until about 2 year ago. Ron Paul was raised a Lutheran, Gingrich was a Lutheran at one point. Gary Johnson was a Lutheran but is now non-practicing. I feel like I am forgetting someone.
@powercat19911 He was and is venerated also by Lutherans..but that does not make him Lutheran. St. Birgitta/Bridget of Sweden, Patroness of Europe, could also be mentioned along with St. Olaf. Here relics are still displayed in the so called Blue church in Vadstena, Sweden, where Lutherans and Catholics do venerate her.
@easterboyekka Well she needs to re-read the Small and Large Catechisms because I don't know any Lutheran who subscribes to dispensationalism. She also needs to recognize the Lutheran view that Israel is not a state but the Christian church. In other words, her Lutheran pastor needs enroll her in a remedial confirmation class, it seems her first time around didn't work.
Well, the Lutheran Church is a Catholic church, so no conflict there. Olav II (St. Olaf) was King of Norway. Christians in Norway followed the path of the Reformation. This is no different than Anglicans claiming St. Thomas Canteloupe. And actually if you want to get technical about it, being canonized in 1030, 24 years prior to the schism in which the Roman Catholic Church was established, Olaf was and always is an Orthodox Saint.
Thanks for posting this video! Yay for Luther and Lutherans! It bothered Martin Luther a lot when everyone wanted to call the church the Lutheran Church, but he was out-voted by everyone else, since they revered him so much for what he had done. We must be on the right track, too, since we're under so much attack, and serious attack at that. God bless all of you and those for whom you care.
Lost and Found.....

I've always loved this song by Lost and Found, but thanks for making it into a video! :)
This song is really wonderful, totally sacred and funny and great. Thanks.
I burnt my fingers on many a Lutheran Christmas Eve. This song gives me a smile a mile wide.
Very nice touch at the end with the LCMS, ELCA, and WELS logos
@scapino1974 Woody Harrelson is not Lutheran but his character on Cheers "Woody" was Lutheran. Bruce Willis was confirmed LCMS but I don't know if he still considers himself Lutheran. David Soul, the blond guy on Starsky and Hutch was raised David Solberg, the son of a Lutheran minister in South Dakota
I was born Lutheran
You need to update this. Awesome 😂
Ron Paul was raised Lutheran and his brother David Paul is a Lutheran pastor.
I'm not Lutheran, but I love The Far Side's portrayal of God

Add David Soul, the blond guy on Starskey and Hutch.

I am a recent convert, and I am proud to call myself a Lutheran! :-)
@pipeup1 It could be he couldn't find a Lutheran church close enough. Rehnquist (a Swedish name, which until recently had the official church as Lutheran) also went to Catholic Mass with Nino Scalia! It is not unusual for people of different denominations to visit other churches. In fact, the Episcopalians and the Lutherans have come to a loose confederation, exchanging ministers in some cases.
@Jackkittikhun Nice, I did not know there were Lutherans in Thailand!
i am soooooooooooo proud to be one :)
@pipeup1 The ELCA and Episcopal church are in full communion.
And I am from Rosario City in Argentina!! :)
I often sat near Justice Reinquiest in an Episcopal parish church in Vermont when he was at his summer house. So not sure about him being a Luthern??!
There were actually quite a few people this election who were Lutheran at some point. Bachmann was WELS up until about 2 year ago. Ron Paul was raised a Lutheran, Gingrich was a Lutheran at one point. Gary Johnson was a Lutheran but is now non-practicing. I feel like I am forgetting someone.
@powercat19911 He was and is venerated also by Lutherans..but that does not make him Lutheran. St. Birgitta/Bridget of Sweden, Patroness of Europe, could also be mentioned along with St. Olaf. Here relics are still displayed in the so called Blue church in Vadstena, Sweden, where Lutherans and Catholics do venerate her.
They just played at my church!!!!
they missed the Ted Drewes, the best custard EVER around the world, here at St. Louis, Missouri!
Go Aikmen!! This is so true. It's a really great song
from aformer lutheran this is good
It's a cute song, but Hubert Humphrey was a Congregationalist. Still, we've never had a Lutheran president, and probably will have only one Catholic.
Lutheran Pride
Well, actually many use acolytes. And, a goodly number are,indeed high church.
@easterboyekka Well she needs to re-read the Small and Large Catechisms because I don't know any Lutheran who subscribes to dispensationalism. She also needs to recognize the Lutheran view that Israel is not a state but the Christian church. In other words, her Lutheran pastor needs enroll her in a remedial confirmation class, it seems her first time around didn't work.
Garrison Kiellor is an Episcopalian.
@SummerSunshine1988 Welcome :)
awesome

What is the name of the Actor at 1:36 to 1:38?
St. Olaf was and is a Catholic saint.
LCMS- New England District!
So, who are all the others at the end of the video?
Garrison Kellior was not Lutheran. He was Brethren. He wrote about Lutherans (and Catholics). He is now Episcopalian.
I wonder how common acolyte gowns are amongs lutherans in America, as the church bodies are not high church like the Church of Sweden?!
Steve Jobs was a Buddhist in the latter half of his life.
How is St. Olaf Lutheran? He lived 500 years before Luther.
LCMS Cottage Hills, Illinois
hey Jackooboy, your absolutly right! I knew that so don't know why i posted the above!! Brainfart maybe! :-))
is it just me or should they have found a way to rhyme "pretzel" with "Tetzel?" just sayin...
Can someone write the letter?!
That has nothing at all to do with the Lutheran Church to which I belong.
You might want to check your history, espceially about when the other Lutheran bodies were formed.
@nuduaspiaggia Christianus mihi nomen est, catholicus cognomen.
I thought that Steve Jobs was Buddhist?
i don't get this video...
glad to be an ex Lutheran
HI MR SORENSONS CLASS
I thought that Steve Jobs was Buddhist.
Sorry ELS...I guess you'll always just be WELS's twin sister...except the Norwegian gene pool half...
