EARLY LUTHERANS FOUGHT TO BE FREE OF ROME. NOW, SOME RETURN. WHY?
Five centuries ago, stubborn faithful, reading the Bible and thinking for themselves, struggled to escape Rome’s grip. Now, some are going back.
Puzzling? Yes. Yet Lutherans in the pews may find points of agreement.
Some returnees think Lutherans are too fond of cheap grace. What about works? And what about Lutheran contemporary worship? Does it not mangle centuries of liturgy? And what about Mary? Isn’t she a perpetual virgin, bearing no other children after Jesus? More at the link.
