Oct. 31, 2017, represents the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s formal beginning of the Protestant Reformation.

To see “The Lutheran Lifestyle” picture on the front page of the Albert Lea Tribune was a disgrace, disgusting, demeaning, crude, uncultured and an abomination toward one of the great reformers of all time.

Having a sense of humor is one thing, but this picture/performance activity is below the line. What does the song “The Menopause Medley” have to do with being Lutheran or Methodist or Presbyterian, etc.?

If attending a hotdish is so hilarious, perhaps one should consider helping to feed the less fortunate.

This stage allegory is cheap and certainly not family friendly. Respect and honor for great leaders/reformers must be acknowledged and taught to young people.
