The Lutheran Parish School – An Idea Whose Time Is Past?

By Patrick Kyle

This rant has been a long time in coming. I have personally watched or been involved in several of the situations I will relate below. In several other cases I have walked beside Pastor friends who have dealt with the same issues. I was on the Board of Directors or the Board of Elders in a previous congregation for eight years and have seen some of these situations from the inside.

I think it is time to seriously reconsider the current…

Similarities and Differences where "Reformation meets Rome"

On a blog called "Called To Communion: Reformation meets Rome,

Bryan Cross compares and contrasts Protestant--mostly Lutheran--Justification with the Roman Catholic position, to try to explain the reason for the anathemas proclaimed against the Lutheran position at the Council of Trent. The article is called, "A Reply from a Romery Person" and it points to how the Roman Catholic position sees…

Is There a Place for Lutherans at THEOLOGICA (theologica.ning.com)?

I have recently taken a look at THEOLOGICA, which is a community much broader than Wittenberg Trail, and seems heavy on Calvinism.

I have sought to start a Lutheran group there, but cannot unless they think there is enough interest in such a group. The following hyperlink goes to my plea for such a group: http://theologica.ning.com/forum/topics/a-possible-new-group-here-at

Response to news story: "ELCA splits!"

Last night on the car radio, I heard a news story on the radio about a split in the ELCA. I found further information on the story at Gene Edward Veith's blog: Cranach: The Blog of Veith. His blog begins with the words:

"The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, like the Episcopalians, have split over homosexuality. A new church body is now being organized, consisting of… Continue

Redeemer, jackson, WY

Through the hard work of two members at Redeemer, Kiley Campbell and Marvin Cotney, videos of sermons delivered by Rev. David Bott are available at our web site redeemerlutheranjackson.org. Pastor Bott's sermons are solid Law & Gospel sermons and, in or opinion, well worth viewing.

Confession of Sin

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Most merciful God, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve your present and eternal punishment. For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead… Continue

What Will Lutheranism in North America Look Like in Five Years?

While it is certainly time for prayer regarding Lutheran Christians in this country, it can be a time to consider that five years down the road American Lutheranism could look significantly different to both insiders and outsiders. It seems as if groups such as the LCMC and others will be growing this year. How likely is it that at least one new Lutheran church body in the USA will come about in 2009? Also, since the beginning of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the ELCA has been the… Continue

Parish pastors wanting to do a doctorate at a Lutheran school and stay in the parish

I just started my doctor of theology degree at Australian Lutheran College in Adelaide Australia. I looked into doing a doctorate at other Lutheran schools but they all wanted me to do more course work. I was not opposed to that per se, but the real problem was having to leave the parish for awhile to do that. With ALC that is not a problem. Their off-shore program allows me to stay in the parish and work on the degree part-time. The full description can be found on their web site at… Continue

The Lutheran Study Bible

In my church's newsletter today, there was an insert advertising The Lutheran Study Bible, at a special price offered through church volume sales. The insert reads in part "This new Bible is the first in English to be developed from the ground up, with notes that are distinctively Lutheran, prepared by Lutheran contributors from over twenty church bodies."

It goes on to say "Making the decision to buy a copy of TLSB when you already own a copy of the Concordia Self-Study… Continue

CORE VALUES for CHRISTIANS: Lutherans and the Lord's Supper

I have been sorely tardy in posting to this blog -- not that anyone much misses it, I'm sure. Still, because I was without a secretary for a few months and because of the press of parish business, I simply got behind on my project of writing a lay-oriented commentary on the articles of the Augsburg Confession. It is time to correct that. I am herewith continuing that little series with this post on AC Article IX. that said, I pray that this post will, in some measure, be a blessing to the few… Continue

Shalom Marlene,

Temple services were solemn events, and not a time or place for dancing.
