The Brothers of John the Steadfast, as noted before, is a website for conservative  members of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. It’s run by Pastor Tim Rossow; he’s leader of an LCMS church in a Naperville, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago. BJS…

Another St. Louis-area newspaper has picked up on the KFUO story: The Webster-Kirkwood Times.
