Wondering if Pope Francis health is such that he is trying to push through his reforms before his time is up?  What will be next?  Women's Ordination?

It would be nice to include in the prayers a petition that both the Jews and the Muslims would be converted to the one true God where true peace may be found.

The one thing about the one-year lectionary that is somewhat sad is the lack of the "Bread of Life" passages of John 6.

Our congregation is "naughty" too and substitutes the Athanasian Creed for the Nicene Creed on Trinity Sunday.  Guess there's much more serious liturgical innovations out there that we could be guilty of so I shouldn't complain too much.

A hour into the funeral, there was a brief reading as the casket was processed into the church. Other than that, nothing particularly Christian in this funeral.

I look forward to hearing Bishop Eaton preach in Minneapolis on Saturday afternoon.  Anybody  know a Lutheran Church in Minneapolis or the western suburbs that will have a swingin’ reformation service on Sunday morning?

Sunday afternoon (4pm)  there is a huge service planned at Concordia University in St Paul with LCMS President Matthew Harrison preaching.  It might be interesting to compare/contrast these two services.

It would be interesting to hear the similarities and contrasts. I heard Bp. Eaton on Issues, Etc and was impressed, given that she knew it was an LCMS pastor doing the interview with a predominantly LCMS listening audience. Todd did a fine job letting her talk and answer the questions. She's certainly a better communicator than Bp. Hanson. But I was disappointed with her answer when trying to talk about Christ Alone. So I would like to hear from folks who attend either or both of these events.

I see that the ELCA service with Ms. Eaton will be broadcast live -- http://centralmpls.sermon.net/main/main/20594165

It doesn't look like the LCMS service will be livestreamed

Where does Scripture say that it was unleavened bread?

Hint... it doesn't.
