In reply to Evan E. Parat.

That's not entirely true. The LCMS has had Slovak and English synods then districts of the LCMS very early on. It was in communion with Norwegian Synods very early on.

It is true many think German is the best language for theology and some congregations didn't change to the English language for quite some time. That though is a different issue than in the article.

I know my second parish changed to English when an English speaking family wanted to join and they the service in English when they attended.
