Horrors, I even wear a head covering when receiving the Eucharist (even more often than weekly, since Fr. Peters offers that opportunity in a Thurs. Holy Communion).<br /><br />Fr. Heath Curtis said something perceptive about worship wars. Recently on IssuesEtc. he asked why it was his parents didn't clamor for Glenn Miller worship? Why didn't their parents ask for Jazz worship? And their parents for Ragtime? <br /><br />What has changed, and needs to be "unchanged" is ourselves. No longer do we see the Church as the place to go for Word and Sacrament. Instead, it is just one more morsel on our buffet plate of what pleases us.Janis Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947508427040251166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-24397454912946822042013-11-30T23:25:22.217-06:002013-11-30T23:25:22.217-06:00Gary, I can understand this.

THink about it ... so many people (xtian or not) do things simply without thinking ... as a knee-jerk reaction, and for a 2nd reason, going through the motions. Too many lutherans have gotten used to the last 50 years or so since their church stopped celebrating Service of the Eucharist, that it is part of their "tradition" now. Also, for ones who have a low-view of Communion and what it gives/benefits our souls, taking things for granted and going-through-the-motions is what is at state, imho.<br /><br />Gabriel from DK-Europeingahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186782098192085798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-92219573183420362062013-11-30T23:21:54.838-06:002013-11-30T23:21:54.838-06:00thank you for your lucid and terse expounding on t...thank you for your lucid and terse expounding on the Lutheran "worship war" in LCMS and faithful representation of the Confessions. - a confessional LCMS member living in chaotic lutheran Denmark.ingahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186782098192085798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-66483856841044896472013-11-30T14:50:49.416-06:002013-11-30T14:50:49.416-06:00For the life of me, I cannot comprehend how any or...For the life of me, I cannot comprehend how any orthodox Christian who believes in the Real Presence of their Lord and Savior in his Holy Supper, would NOT want to partake of his grace and forgiveness of sins EVERY Lord's Day.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02519721717265344702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-91647215042167700112013-11-30T08:28:33.354-06:002013-11-30T08:28:33.354-06:00As I understand it, receiving Communion was not co...As I understand it, receiving Communion was not common in the Middle Ages; many received Communion only once or twice a year, commonly during Easter Time, and maybe Christmas Time. But that was never a rule, but rather developed as a custom, out of reverence for Christ and awareness of our sinfulness. Mass was celebrated every Sunday and weekdays, and the Priest received Communion. Communion was available to the congregation, but they didn't partake. it was Pope Pius X in the 19th Century who encourage receiving Communion often, even daily.Bill Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-74056312667436613562013-11-30T07:53:38.972-06:002013-11-30T07:53:38.972-06:00I don't see any problem at all with what you h...I don't see any problem at all with what you have written here.<br /><br />Fr.D+<br />Anglican PriestDr.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360786634583725263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-38956653130359114332013-11-30T06:16:38.833-06:002013-11-30T06:16:38.833-06:00My understanding has been that weekly communion wa...My understanding has been that weekly communion was not common practice just prior to the Reformation and that a return to weekly communion (which Calvin favored as well) was something brought back by the Reformation, not merely continued.David Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966977894876326659noreply@blogger.com
