"We do emphasize that our relationship with Christ is through faith alone, and the reformers wanted to avoid the appearance that we gain acceptance with God through rituals or symbols," Lewis said. "Now, people can understand the difference. These symbols come alongside as holy reminders."
That's a true saying, and worthy of men to be received.

Ashes is a reminder. The Eucharist is body, soul, and divinity of Christ. I am happy our separated brothers are reminding themselves, but their journey of faith is still in infancy.
