Just FYI the Lutheran church is split into a bunch of different subdenominations. The two biggest are the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). In 2009 and 2012 the ELCA Youth Gathering was in New Orleans (it was in Detroit in 2015). This current convention is the LCMS Youth Gathering. I think it might be the first time the LCMS has had their national youth convention in New Orleans (it was in San Antonio in 2013).

Looks like the ELCA (ie, hippies) is coming next month. They had to spread them out to avoid a holy war.

Nope, not the first time by far. (I'm an LCMS member, former youth leader and attended some of those previous conventions.) And I think the ELCA convention in NO a year or two ago was even larger than the LCMS ones.
