I would like to hear from all my brothers on this board regarding thier view of Worker-Priests. Especially with so many older, smaller, lutheran churches... should they just be allowed to die? or should they be served by lay ministers/deacons? or should they be served by ordained pastors? If your answer is that they should be served, rather than being allowed to die, and that they should be served by an ordained pastor. What can be done to help make this possible. I hope that you will take…See More

Rev. Randolph Schnack replied to Ryan's discussion Flags in Church"Argument for - Flags, banners, etc are used in churches to TEACH GOD'S TRUTHS. Putting a flag of the nation and the flag of the church can very well serve as a way of reminding people that we do indeed teach the concept of 2 kingdoms.

Rev. Randolph Schnack replied to Kari's discussion Article I Augsburg Confession in the group Study Group/The Lutheran Confessions"Excellent Job all. One thing that is not stated is the NEED for this doctrine to be so important. Certainly accepting what scriptures teach about the God we belong to is important in and of itself. But there is yet another reason not mentioned which…"
Rev. Randolph Schnack replied to Kari's discussion The Three Universal Creeds in the group Study Group/The Lutheran Confessions"I have a question that I am hoping one of you might be able to answer for me. Why those creeds? First of all, the apostles creed was never even formally accepted by a church council, as was the Niceano-Constanoplitan Creed.
And why do we not see…"

Tom Shepherd said… - Rev. Schnack, since you were the only one to respond to my inquiry about the Augsburg Confession, I wanted to ask you a more direct question about it. Article XIV (Order in the Church) states that "nobody should publicly teach or preach ...... without a regular call" (German translation). The Latin translation is almost word for word, but excludes the word "teach". Is that difference significant? If we believe only called servants can teach, why wasn't it important enough to be presented in Latin?
Thank you for your response. Blessings to you.
