[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77429259, member: 330042"] What's noteworthy is that German-Americans brought gymn culture to the US (or "physical culture" as it was called). There were alot of great German physical educators, bodybuilders, strongmen, and health enthusiasts. However, I don't think that is reflected in Evangelical Lutheranism in the US so much. Gymn and fitness culture in Germany was influenced alot by an interest in classical education following the Reformation, not necessarily religion. Many of the ELCA's demographics are rural midwestern and mid-atlantic descendents of German and Scandinavian immigrants, people that grew up on farms and got plenty of hard manual labor, not city-dwellers. They tend to eat that way too, lots of grain and fat, even though most are no longer farmers. [/QUOTE]
