Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

An unprejudiced and unpartison comparison of the Lutheran doctrine with the doctrines of other Churches, especially with the doctrines of the Roman and Reformed Churches, shows that in all the distinctive doctrines it holds the just mean between both. In no single doctrine does it defend an extreme, but everywhere its doctrine offers the only possible agreement and union of the extreme contradictions which find expression in the different particular Churches. - Löhe, *Three Books* (Book III, Chapter III: "It is the Centre in which the Different Confessions Unite")
