New Gottesdienst Arrived!

The new edition of Gottesdienst arrived today. Lots of good stuff. Most hilarious is *The Rite of Blessing of New Issues of Gottesdienst.* Does it remain a hymnal if its not in use? This is definitely a rolling on the floor, laughing out loud page. Way to go Fr. Eckardt!

Any chance you could get permission to reprint *The Rite of Blessing of New Issues of Gottesdienst* here?

Not only would it be good for both Lutheran bodies who have new hymnals, it might just increase expose (and subscriptions!) to Gottesdienst

I've shared the hymnal extra usum joke with close to a dozen friends and NONE of them have gotten it.

Sigh.

Mark,

Just order Gottesdienst! It's worthwhile. Promise!

Chaz,

There can only be one explanation: they must be members of the Missouri Synod!

Just curious....

Who was "Seeing Red" in this newest
edition of _Gottensdienst_ ?

Alas, John, not a soul.

it's a good thing I had a funeral Monday morning. That way I didn't read the rite of hymnal blessing until I was home alone at lunch. Otherwise, I would have peaked at the issue and read the rite in my study at church. and people would have asked me what was so funny. And I would have tried telling them, but I would have gotten the same response Chaz did.
In the words of Homer Simpson, "It's funny because it's true."

Chaz,

Just read it to Cindi, Sharon, and David - they all found it hysterically funny! David's question: "People really believe that about the Sacrament???"

Jimbo,

Homer Simpson is right (at least on this!).
