Joe Copeck – Former Lutheran Pastor

October 11, 2016 Conversion Stories, Lutheran

During his early childhood, Joe Copeck’s family were plugged into their Polish Catholic heritage, but over time, they drifted away from it.  After his time in the Navy, Joe entered seminary to become a Lutheran minister, but was bothered by questions of authority and unity in regard to Lutheranism.  Eventually, it was the reading of Scripture that brought him back to the Catholic Church- especially understanding how Scripture was interpreted and taught by the Church Fathers in the early days of Christianity.  A good episode for those who want to get insight into the high view of the Bible that the Catholic Church holds!
