Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!

* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.

Be rooted in Christ!

It is bovine excrement such as this which drives many Lutherans into Orthodoxy, where the sacred Liturgy declares "Blessed is the kingdom of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" without shame or apology.

Indeed, our local Antiochian congregation finds most of its new members coming from Lutheranism. For that reason:

Orthodox Ping!

Hope G_d appreciates the favor that as we evolve ever onwards towards perfection, we're bringing Him along as well. What would He do without us? /sarc

This is the follow-up to Are Protestants failing inclusive language?.

Are Protestant denominations backsliding when it comes to using inclusive language? Some members of the National Council of Churches think so. Read on.

Just don't call this nonsense "politically correct".

Greetings and Salutations!
I had the good fortune of having heard a sermon Jaynan Clark, President of Word Alone Ministies. She speaks in a respectful, but demanding tone which is both grounded in pragmatism yet also provides evidemce of her intellectual strength. Her written work is just as inspired and inspiring. This is quite a departure from the "I'm OK, you're ok" namby pambyism seen here and described by Lewis as a watered down message.

Regarding the painting prophets and saints in the colors of culture and race: This is neither recent, nor is it exclusive to Christendom. I have seen depictions of Buddah in statuary from Afghanistan and the Middle East in which the statues look like those modeled of classical antiquity and far different from statuary I have seen in China and Japan. Diverse examples in Christianity not only include the works Michaelangelo but also include the portfolios of Albrecht Duerer and Fra Angelico.
