What's a Lutheran?
I’ve added to the Pastor’s Blog a series of short reflections on “What’s a Lutheran?” that we have put together to share with new and potential members of our congregation. I hope that they, and others, may find them useful.
So what’s a Lutheran anyway?
Justification by faith
The distinction between Law and Gospel
The Bible as authoritative source and norm
A sacramental view of the world
The centrality of Jesus Christ
Comfort with paradox and mystery
The church is defined by Word and Sacrament
The two kingdoms and the priesthood of all believers
Christ’s salvation is for all people and all things
