It's just that LQ raises my bp to see Lutheran bretheren slugging it out so publicly so I try to stay away from that public slug-fest and only go to edifying sites such as Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions <BR/>An ongoing discussion of the Book of Concord<BR/>and some of the more positive blogs by the chief participants at the BoC site. Your blog got me curious so I went over to LQ and it raised my bp.<BR/>Have a blessed Pentecost Sunday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-30249514462454494832007-05-26T17:40:00.000-05:002007-05-26T17:40:00.000-05:00Dear Anon,The reason to bring it up was to comment...Dear Anon,<BR/><BR/>The reason to bring it up was to comment that such things need to be addressed locally by the pastors and parishes that KNOW the people involved, rather than the second-guessing that takes place on the net.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-24149971775011519392007-05-26T17:02:00.000-05:002007-05-26T17:02:00.000-05:00Pr.

The so called 'information age' provides us with only a selective array of 'facts' about a situation, and removes those facts from their human context. The absence of a human face to address directly retards not only the impetus but the possibility of being humane in our response.<BR/><BR/>Face to face we would still need to uphold the objective truth, but we would have a far greater chance of doings so with genuine respect and care for the person we are addressing. <BR/><BR/>And far greater incentive. Particularly if they have a big dog! ;)Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15189580002644810418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-81195130359869493142007-05-23T17:36:00.000-05:002007-05-23T17:36:00.000-05:00Amen and Amen!This sort of internet meddling is a ...Amen and Amen!<BR/><BR/>This sort of internet meddling is a kind of theological porn.
