LPC has left a new comment on your post "Lutheran Is Not a Holy Word":
Bruce,
In Australia, there are not enough students to support an Evangelical school. So consequently they have to open up their student population to the secularist families. The Evangelical community is so small to pay for the bills.
What happens next is that the secular students out number the Evangelical students. The majority becomes the lobby group.
Thankfully in here, the word Lutheran is blazoned in the billboards and compared to the Evangelical schools (I choke to say Evangelical since it is a Lutheran word originally) they have a higher academic standard. Even Evangelical families are sending their kids to Lutheran schools.
I am sure they could have simply renamed the school to generic Christian brand and they would get more success, but thankfully, the Lutheran brand name has not been despised yet.
