Thank you Nrx. This is a good sign from our Lutheran brethren that they are willing to hold the line on orthodoxy.
Just last week end I was at a flea market and there was an 1899 copyright (Geo. H. Trabert) original Luther’s Small Catechism for sale for $2.00. It is in excellent condition.
I have only skimmed through it thus far, however was very intrigued to see that Luther himself retained a lot more from his Augustinian formation than I ever realized. There is far less difference between actual Lutheran doctrine and Catholic doctrine than I previously realized.
Also, I had a very devout Lutheran Grandmother who came from Germany. This is great news that a mainstream denomination is standing up for actual Christian teachings because many are caving (esp. some Catholic social justice/ “progressive” CINO types - Pelosi, etc.)!)
Be careful The LCMS and WELs hold to the Augsburg confession and sound doctrine the ELCA is apostate just like most of the main lines be sure to differentiate when looking at lutherans
