LWQ -Winter 2009

From the Editor ...

It's a question I get asked a lot:

So what's the deal with the three names? Some sort
of political statement?

The answer to the latter is "no." And the answer to the
former is that my full name honors the two most important
men in my life: my dad and my husband.

Considered uncommon in my teen years (apart from
Margaret Chase Smith and Mary Tyler Moore), three-part
names were starting to become more mainstream
in my college years, yet I saw little usage in church
circles — except for one place. Here.

While attending a young adults’ group meeting at my
fiancé’s church, I picked up one of the giveaway copies
of the Quarterly that had conveniently been left on
a visitors’ rack. As I perused the issue, all the names of
the married LWML leaders at that time were printed in
the same format, except for one — the editor-in-chief.

“A Lutheran woman … with a three-part name!”
Enough for me; I followed suit.

And to this day it works great to stem confusion, since
another “Nancy Peters” and a “Nancy Graf” also happen
to live in my county.

My names remind me of my important relationships.
As you read this LWQ issue, may what it reveals about
relationships help you learn the ropes about another
three-part name that, through Baptism, we all share:
child of God.
