It’s debatable whether today or October 31 is the greatest non-Christological festival in the Lutheran church. Go ahead and debate, and see Sasse’s comments here, posted last year. And a section from the Preface of the Augsburg Confession here.
I’m curious, did any of your Lutheran congregations make mention of this day in the service? The one I visited did not.
Good stuff at Ask the Pastor, and a cool picture at Cyberbrethren.
