This week's featured blog/website is The Brothers of John the Steadfast. The mission of the website is as follows:
"The Brothers of John the Steadfast, brings together Lutheran laymen to defend and promote the orthodox Christian faith which is taught in the Lutheran Confessions, provide financial support for Christian new media (e.g. Issues, Etc.), and to support other endeavors selected by its membership that defend and promote the cause of confessional Lutheranism." (website excerpt)
The organization's website features regular columns and quarterly journals, reading groups and chapters throughout the country, and individual members. When asked why this group was started Pastor Rossow stated, "A few years ago I talked to Pastor Wilken about starting a men's group to support Issues Etc. We both thought it was a good idea but then we never did anything about it. With the cancellation of the show I determined it was time to launch the organization."
The Brothers of John the Steadfast is a fairly new website, and Pastor Rossow shared what he enjoys so far, "The thing I appreciate most about the website is reading all the great comments by the laity and seeing them grow in their knowledge of scripture and the confessions thanks to our 4 bloggers and 25 columnists."
