Still, I am personally willing to endorse each of the propositions below, seeing, as I do, in each of them, an extension, an enlarging of the eschatological vision of Christ our Head, and claiming his proleptic authority. I know this represents a departure from Lutheran tradition. The battle against women's ordination was lost the moment the infant church began to baptise rather than circumcise. I pray for the day when aerial bombing, like land-mining, is internationally outlawed. The church has a major piece of homework to do today, studying homosexuality within the broader context of human sexuality generally.
Big changes are on the way, for heterosexuals no less than homosexuals.
Preaching a fear of the fires of hell is a medieval barbarism. Well, I've strayed into social ethics from my self-assigned mandate of focusing on things liturgical. And I've probably raised your blood pressure.
