Question

Dr. Greg,

I am just curious as to what you think of Society of Saint Paul? Is this baby steps to the Tiber do you think?

GJ - I am not sure which group this is. Please post a link to them.

Some of these groups are launching pads for poping and semi-poping. Others may start with good intentions but tip the weak in the direction of Rome and Constantinople.

Apostates can live very comfortably with high church mandates (Patristic Fundamentalism, as they called it at Notre Dame). The Episcopalians and ELCA are both fine examples of that problem.

That does not make formal worship bad. I favor it over aping the Reformed Church Growth manias, now reduced to semi-idiocy (St. John's Ellisville, Missouri).

Lutherans can see that sound doctrine must be first or it will be last.

The micro-mini Lutheran sects of America do not specialize in sound doctrine but in legalistic formulae they happily violate.
