He speaks with such authority about all things. Never let it be said that he lacks confidence!<br /><br />As to there being a second Archbishop in ACNA, the only significance I can see is the hope that he will do a better job than the first did. Duncan was a disappointment (but not much; I did not expect very much in the first place).<br /><br />Fr.

Teaching from these within Missouri Synod churches would be far more beneficial than displaying the <a href="http://badvestments.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">latest liturgical fads in mitres and vestments</a>.<br /><br />And despite the fairy tales and urban legends that have been regularly dispersed in various synodical publications, articles, and presentations, we also have the historical books of Walter O. Forster (<i>Zion on the Mississippi</i>), Carl Mundinger (<i>Government in the Missouri Synod</i>) and Carl Eduard Vehse (<i>Die Stephan'sche Auswanderung nach Amerika</i>), These books serve to educate Lutherans why we should thank God the Missouri Synod has the congregational polity, which we should work to preserve, instead of denigrating or subverting it.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-39360688548018230022014-07-25T07:03:46.372-05:002014-07-25T07:03:46.372-05:00Today it seems the technological comes first befor...Today it seems the technological comes first before the ecclesiastical.ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993754663155124374noreply@blogger.com
