[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] ZION IN LUTHERAN CHURCH NAME

[Royal Natzke]

The name Zion is not significant in itself as to which branch of the 
Lutheran churches it is in. Zion and Trinity were 2 of the most used names 
in the early history of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. A 1940's history 
of this synod is entitled Zion on the Mississippi - that seems to say 
something. Here in WI it was also true of the Wisconsin Synod churches.
