Actuallly there is more to it than just being secular, though that is a large part of it, it was also orignally writen for an Adulterious scene in an Opera and the composer was also a Nazi..well not a nazi but he hated Jewish peoples so all the same I suppose. We looked at my friend's wedding bulliten the other day (another luthren wedding) and she had the song in her wedding so we plan to use this as leverage...course this church has turned more and more conservative over the years they just reacently voted to not agree with the ELCA (the group of churches they are in) and thier policies on Homosexuality which was mainly it will be tolerated... which I find funny that this church does not tolerate homosexuality b/c we'll be having about 10-15 homo's at the wedding and they all have dates :-D If I'd known the church was so against gays earlier I would have pushed more for my one freind (a guy) to be a bride's maid ;)
