Pastoral Meanderings: Is it crazy or just plain boorish... you decide...

Is it crazy or just plain boorish... you decide...

Reader Janis has upped the ante on the strange and sent me this one... read it at your own peril. At least we can take comfort from the fact that it does not appear that this is Lutheran related (no catechetical giveaways in the conversation or setting)....

Weird science gives way to weird baptismal etiquette...

And I agree with Fr. D's sentiment: what is she being baptized into--cotillion?

Also, it looks a bit phony, even contrived. This had to be conceived in Hollywood. It is more of a caricature of Christians.; November 20, 2012 at 10:50 AM

The Window

This is the Means of Grace Window that is above the altar of Grace Lutheran Church where I serve. It reminds us of the keys (confession and absolution), the wheat(the bread which is the Body of Christ), the cup (which is His Blood), the Word (Scripture), and the Pastoral Office (the red stole). In this one wonderful window we see the treasures of the Church in the Word and Sacraments and I love that it is available for all to see. I realize that this image has been stolen all over the internet but it is a real window, a copyrighted image, belonging to Grace Lutheran Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, which has kindly allowed my use of it...
