Pastoral Meanderings: Too Weird to Make Up

Too Weird to Make Up

Perhaps you've heard of the clown Eucharist. Or the U2charist. Or, for that matter, the pirate Eucharist.

Now there's a new spin on the sacrament:

A Seusscharist?!?!

Check out more about this event on the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh's website.

HT to Fr. Bryan Owen (Creedal Christian) for the, ah, news...

Now lest you think this trivialization of the Eucharist flows only one way, we Lutherans have had clown Eucharists, polka Masses, and enough other oddities to, well, fill a hymnal... so to speak. Maybe some Lutherans could go and tell us how to, ah, do one in our own parishes, eh?

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...
