The state of Lutheranism in America is messed up. Surprised?
Doesn't take a PhD scholar to figure that out.
Here's a question:
Is it worth leaving?
I mean, is it worth abandoning Lutheranism altogether and going elsewhere?
Would going elsewhere be any better?
If the thought is that "the grass is greener" is the only reason to go, is that even a valid reason?
Wouldn't going to Rome be a step backwards? I doubt that Rome would let one join and let that individual choose a la cart the doctrines of the Roman Catholic church they wish to believe.
Its kind of an "all-or-nothing" thing wherever you go. Unless, of course, you go UCC.
Again, is it worth leaving?
I say: "no." Hunker down with your congregation and wait for the parousia. And pray: "Against Thee only have I synod."
ReplyDeleteThe follow up question would be, "How can you stay Lutheran in America without losing your sanity?"
