Yesterday the Wall Street Journal had a list of the top 500 colleges in the USA. No LCMS school made the list. My wife went through the list as well, and she didn't see any.
However, some ELCA-affiliated ones did make it: Concordia Moorhead, Luther in Decorah, Wartburg, Wittenberg, Augsburg, Gustavus Adolphus, St. Olaf, & Augustana. She did say she could have missed some. While there are always problems with lists of this kind, if the standards are applied uniformly it does say something about ranking.
What do you want to bet the Stuckfast Lutherans and the Questing Lutherans won't say anything?
Martin Luther College changed Samantha Lily, who arrived as a male student and graduated pumped full of hormones. But nobody knew. Nope - no one. |
Short version - 50% of members in Wisconsin, where they are densest. 25% in Minnesota, 25% in Michigan. The rest are scattered. |
