A lot of Lutherans can be a lil reserved and stoic and don't like to be all showy in their approval and when they're moved. If you find yourself in a crowd of a bunch of Lutherans that have just heard something particularly profound, instead of a bunch of loud "amens" (though every now and then I hear someone try one out) what you'll hear is a "hmmm."
It can be translated to:
- that was a good point
- that was deep
- I hadn't thought of it that way
- yes, thank you
- interesting (but actually, not a Minnesotan interesting)
Basically, amen.
If you ever get that response from a room of Lutherans, you really moved them. Just so you know, because you probably wouldn't know.
