In the report on Rev. Mueller installation I read " Harrison recalled correspondence between the Synod’s first president, C.F.W. Walther, and Civil War chaplain and Lutheran minister Henry Gericke, a U.S. Army chaplain who shared the Gospel with incarcerated Nazis during World War II." That has to be a front page story: in 1945 he would have been over 100 years old in order to have served in the Civil War.
