Folks, In our Church body it is traditional for pastors, vicars and seminary students to wear a clerical collar. In my own ministry, I have found this useful, if for no other reason than that the…Continue

Those of us who are over 5 years of age may remember the days when churches owned or ran hospitals. In fact, my mother earned her RN at Lutheran Hospital in St Louis.As I understand, not only were…Continue

Michael Brugge replied to David Hartung's discussion Is it possible"Well, we do not have to contend with organizations of adulterers demanding to be treated as if adultery is not a sin. Neither do we have to contend with a hostile mass media that calls us intolerant bigots because we continue to say that…"

Kari replied to David Hartung's discussion Sabbatical"I have recently heard that my congregation is going to propose an 11 week sabbatical every 7 years to our pastors. I have not heard all the details. That would be 11 extra weeks off beside their regular vacation time off. I think it could be a very…"
Beth replied to David Hartung's discussion Sabbatical"I think it would be. Pastors give and give and give. They help to bear the burdens of their parishioners and minister to them. You hear frequently of pastors leaving the ministry because they're burned out. The year would allow them time to…"

It is unfortunate that since the big "shutdown" traffic on this site has fallen off dramatically.In my daily reading, I recently read the instruction in Exodus 23 about letting farm land lie fallow 1 year out of 7. This led to a discussion about how that could apply to the church in the 21st century. The responses were very interesting, and we had a good, albeit short discussion. One man, a retired university professor, suggested that this could be used to justify the idea of a periodic…See More

Sandra O. replied to David Hartung's discussion Dress and appearance, or the LCMS version of the old AFR 35-10 :)"I've been told that the black is to symbolize sin, particularly the sinfulness of the man wearing it. The white of the clerical collar is to emphasize the throat/voice of the Gospel, the viva vox Christi of the Office.

Folks, In our Church body it is traditional for pastors, vicars and seminary students to wear a clerical collar. In my own ministry, I have found this useful, if for no other reason than that the collar identifies me when I am out and about.This is not a major theological issue, but what is the history of the collar, and why would it be important that the shirt be black?See More

Wagner replied to David Hartung's discussion Is it possible"Should we rue the day when someone comes up to you and says, "I'm a speeder and you have to accept it because speeding works for me no matter what some dusty book or man in uniform says"?
