The reverence shown was gratifying. <br /><br />What difference does it make which knee you genuflect with anyway? Although come to think of it, I've always done right along with crossing myself using the right hand.Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09337019503451500138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-32360211941969856542011-10-25T22:56:18.835-05:002011-10-25T22:56:18.835-05:00Looks to me like a parish putting its wrong foot b...Looks to me like a parish putting its wrong foot backward.Terry Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122266461403246084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-46168027045132337832011-10-25T13:22:32.035-05:002011-10-25T13:22:32.035-05:00What a beautiful, traditional, reverent Lutheran s...What a beautiful, traditional, reverent Lutheran service! This is definitely an example of a Lutheran parish putting its best foot forward. It reminds me of Old Missouri Synod worship that I've experienced in Wisconsin, esp. Milwaukee. I really think this is what a lot of people mean when they refer to Confessional Lutheranism as being 'evangelical catholic.' Note well that this was quite evangelical catholic and did not have any smells and the only bells I could hear were far away in the bell tower. Just goes to show you that the evangelical catholic expression of Lutheranism is not about bells and smells. I wish more people could understand that. This church lets the joy and reverence of the Liturgy shine forth: truly Gottesdienst.BrotherBorisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-5593878617793604372011-10-25T09:55:14.892-05:002011-10-25T09:55:14.892-05:00I saw this on PW's blog too, and it STILL look...I saw this on PW's blog too, and it STILL looks like a left-legged genuflexion to me. I must have genuflected thousands of times before emerging foul and filthy from the miserable Tiber. Am I seeing things here, or what?Terry Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122266461403246084noreply@blogger.com
