Protestant religion – would I be welcome?
If you would like an honest “opinion” or “advice” from an open minded (on some things) and closed minded (on others) but out spoken Minister who does not belong to any denomination, you are welcome to email me a list of the things you do and don’t believe and I can give you a pretty good idea where you stand with different denominations. And if you have questions I can tell you what I believe and teach, but the choice is yours. I now live and minister in the Philippines so you don’t have to worry about me showing up on your door.

I am a Lutheran Pastor in Italy, German mother language, and have served in Germany for a long time, but never been in any English-speaking country, just was told and have read a lot about the States. They are said to have so many little churches in your country, I am sure you find one to welcome you.
