Concord Matters – Of Church Authority

Rev. Charles Henrickson

If you ask host of Concord Matters and pastor of St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Bonne Terre MO, Rev. Charles Henrickson what makes him happy, this native Chicago Northsider may respond “The Cubs’ World Series Championship, of course!” He may pause long enough from talking about his beloved Chicago Cubs (which we St. Louisans forgive him for) to cook up his famous roast pork loin with baked potatoes and spinach, or sip piping coffee from his prized VDMA coffee mug. A lover of Scrabble and Lexulous online games, you may find him writing parodies and hymns (and hymn parodies), or teaching Latin and Greek online, or maybe even reading Bo Giertz’s “Hammer of God” or the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
