Fencing with generosity (towards others confessing a real presence) I personally think is proper for the Supper, but I respect different views.
*An ecumenical exception once a quarter is fine.

Last night, on the Second Day of Pentecost, after many years of battling a brain tumour, my mother was received by her Saviour onto her final journey.
In your charity, please pray for her repose and for our family at this time.

@Soupy_ @adfontesman Afaik this isn’t a confessional Reformed articulation.
English
@adfontesman @SweChurchman He says 'God is the primary cause of evils existence'.
In my understanding evil doesn't have ontology. It doesn't exist, it's the absence of good.
English
I genuinely don’t understand not praying with other Christians.
I can respect and support various restrictions in pulpit fellowship and fencing the table but forbidding common prayer with non-Lutherans? No.

I genuinely think WELS is correct on the doctrine of Church Fellowship and their position helps avoid confusion on the matter.
English
@timrwild That makes sense. Does this principle apply to corporate or private prayer? And how does it square with passages like Mark 9:38-41?
English
@SweChurchman Prayer is worship. Worship is an expression of fellowship.
English
@account_plain Why is an ecumenical vespers service, for example, impossible? Lead by Lutheran pastors and choirs, attended by different Christians.
English
@SweChurchman The emphasis is public, corporate prayer.
But I understand people must follow their conscience on a personal level.

@JonMcK1647 Praise be to God! Keeping your family in my prayers, brother.

This Pentecost Sunday, Moses Bryan McKenzie has been baptized into the Name of the Triune God, solemnly admitting him into Christ’s Church, and signifying and sealing to him all the glorious benefits of the Covenant of Grace. Say hello to Christ’s newest soldier.

Uppsala Cathedral in Uppsala, Sweden.
Consecrated in 1435, it is the seat of the Archbishop of Uppsala and mother church of the Lutheran Church of Sweden. Built in French Gothic style, it is famed for its brick vaults, twin spires, and sacred Swedish history.

On this St Erik’s day we remember that it was the Swedes who first brought the Lutheran Church to North America.

I'll definitely be discussing this after its release. These issues are essential for the church to address, and I look forward to seeing what Leo XIV has to say here. Our leaders should also consider releasing statements or hosting gatherings of theologians and ethicists to discuss these vital questions.

"God found nothing more in the predestinated one on account of which He would elect him to life than He found in the Reprobate, except what He Himself was going to introduce by His grace into the one to be predestinated; and thus the predestinated one did not distinguish himself from the mass of the reprobate, 1 Cor. 4:7. Nor is there on the part of man any cause for the making of the decree of predestination." — Bl. Johann Hülsemann, Extensio Breviarii Theologici (15.14)

@DrKwasniewski Was the wedding in the picture recent? The priest and the groom look like people I know.
English
Now that we are on the threshold of peak wedding season, it is opportune to publish the following defense of a longstanding traditional practice that, in the confusion of recent decades, has sometimes fallen by the wayside but deserves to be recovered—namely, the privilege extended to the bride and bridegroom to be in the sanctuary itself during Mass. So far from this being some sort of innovation, it has roots that stretch back many centuries in the Roman, Sarum, and Gallican traditions. The article shows the evidence and explains the rationale.

Is there a Reformed (Presby or Continental) equivalent to the Daily Office or BCP? What do my Reformed friends on here use in their daily prayer?
English
@TohuWaBohu57 @WmWeedon In Sweden in the 19th century, large areas of the north were very short on pastors. Congregations gathered in people’s homes, read from postils and the Bible and sung hymns. And then the priest came ~once a month to hear confession and celebrate the Lord’s Supper.
English
@WmWeedon What about during a plague or in a region where a pastor is not present, like the moon? You know, very rare circumstances? I know that the fellas on the moon weren’t Lutheran when they received communion, but, in theory, what would be protocol there, scripturally?
English
Question came up in Bible Class: Can a Christian, based on the royal priesthood of the Baptized, choose to celebrate the Eucharist in his private home.
English
@WmWeedon Since there is no emergency Eucharist (Augustine: “Believe and you have eaten”) and no one is to administer the Sacraments unless regularly called (CA 14) it is wholly inappropriate if not ordinarily impossible.
