In Scot McKnight's poll, I had to tick "other"; I would have ticked evangelical and Lutheran, except that you could only tick one and there wasn't an entry for Lutheran anyway.
Here's how Lutheran Zephyr defines Lutheranism:
"To me, Lutheranism:
• knows that God comes down the ladder
• knows that God dwells where we least expect God to dwell
• takes sin seriously
• embraces paradox
• preaches about God (not about us!)
• embraces the common stuff of everyday life."
Nicely put, I thought. I probably would have added two points, just after "takes sin seriously":
• takes the sacraments even more seriously
• doesn't take self very seriously at all |
