You know Lutheran Forum, Forum Letter, and LutheranForum.org.  You may have even read some of the books published by the American Lutheran Publicity Bureau (ALPB), or use its For All the Saints prayerbook. But what is the ALPB?

 Historian Alan Graebner, who would later write Uncertain Saints: The Laity in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, 1900-1970, composed a 5 part history of the ALPB in celebration of its 50^th Anniversary in 1964. It is a great reminder, not only of how far the ALPB has come as it approaches its 100^th anniversary in 2014, but also of how much American Lutheranism has grown, changed, and adapted over those years as well.
