You are right in saying that our cultural uniqueness as Lutherans is a reflection on the more important, theological distinctions that set us apart.

From a former Baptist, you're rig...Pr. Hinkle,<br /><br />From a former Baptist, you're right! Of course, why would you want to (out-Baptist the Baptists)?<br /><br />Fr. Peters,<br /><br />Unfortunately, the "Bubba" culture of the South seems to be the "Darryl" culture of the North, as well. Americans as a whole are awash in a low culture attitude. This is not the culture that came to our shores originally. It had nothing to do with ethnicity, and nothing to do with financial standing. Those who came to America's shores wanted a better, "higher" life. Somewhere along the way, money came to be substituted for culture. <br /><br />Most of the non-denom. and Bubba churches go with the culture that makes the best show in the offering plate.<br /><br />Sorry if that sounds jaded and negative, but I believe it's where most Americans are.Janis Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947508427040251166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-54704185731605710182010-05-25T13:27:30.304-05:002010-05-25T13:27:30.304-05:00I remember an older pastor warning me once that yo...I remember an older pastor warning me once that you can't out-Baptist the Baptists.Pr.
