Rev Kind is wonderful. I’m so glad that the university students and the community as a whole have a wonderful liturgical, confessional church to be a part of there
- I am a confessional Lutheran, I do not worship the substances used in the Holy Communion, neither Mary nor the Pope's teachings, but I believe and worship Jesus Christ. The miracle I experienced during the Holy Communion proved to me when Jesus spoke to me in my language that He Himself is present in the Holy Communion, as Professor M. Luther taught.
One of the things I appreciate about the Divine Service is the reverence with which we approach the altar. "The Lord is present in His temple/let all the earth keep silence before Him."
Your videos on the Lutheran Liturgy are amazing. I am working on a project concerning our Lutheran way of worship. I will reference your videos in my work. Also, I will share them with my children and friends. Prof John Pless is a friend. He was, as you probably know, in Minnesota years ago. Thank you for producing such an excellent resource on the liturgy. I currently am working in Chiayi, Taiwan as an LCMS career missionary. I was before this, in Hong Kong working at the Lutheran School for the Deaf. My deaf congregation in Fort Wayne, IN learned to appreciate the liturgy. There is so much non-verbal communication going on in a liturgy that is done well. Praise the Lord. Thank you again, Pastor Kind.
So pleased to hear that these will be helpful to you in your teaching! I've never even considered the impact of the ceremonial on the deaf. Praise the Lord indeed!
@@danvincent1195 In the Lutheran tradition, we use the term pastor and priest interchangeably, although pastor is much more common these days. I encourage you to read through our Confessions more. Lutheran pastors are more commonly called priests and it is good and right to call them "Father". Augsburg Confession, Article XIV "But the bishops either compel our priests to reject and condemn this kind of doctrine which we have confessed, or, by a new and unheard-of cruelty, they put to death the poor innocent men. These causes hinder our priests from acknowledging such bishops. Thus the cruelty of the bishops is the reason why the canonical government, which we greatly desired to maintain, is in some places dissolved." Augsburg Confession, Article XXIII "Since, therefore, our priests were desirous to avoid these open scandals, they married wives, and taught that it was lawful for them to contract matrimony. First, because Paul says, 1 Cor. 7:2,9: To avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife. Also: It is better to marry than to burn." The Ten Commandments, The Fourth Commandment "Thus we have two kinds of fathers presented in this commandment, fathers in blood and fathers in office, or those to whom belongs the care of the family, and those to whom belongs the care of the country. Besides these there are yet spiritual fathers; not like those in the Papacy, who have indeed had themselves called thus, but have performed no function of the paternal office. For those only are called spiritual fathers who govern and guide us by the Word of God; as St. Paul boasts his fatherhood 1 Cor. 4:15, where he says: In Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel. Now, since they are fathers they are entitled to their honor, even above all others."
LCMS are the most traditional liturgical as a rule. You will not likely find the bongos or praise bands in churches expressing the traditional liturgical tradition.
Amen! I love coming to the divine service to receive Christ's gifts.

@ I’m afraid you’ve flipped it!

Great explanation of Lutheran worship. Thanks, Fr. Kind!
He's a pastor not a priest.
Actually Lutheran pastors answer to the title "Father" too. :)

What synod are you referring to? Different synods have different practices.
LCMS are the most traditional liturgical as a rule. You will not likely find the bongos or praise bands in churches expressing the traditional liturgical tradition.
WELS is traditional as well.
Is the pastor referring to Missouri Synod or ELCA Lutherans?
Missouri
Was not sure. I do not know to what extent ELCA and LCMS worship practices differ.
Is the ELCA even Lutheran???
@@dlh7531NO
@@stevekohl5351elca is heretic and woke....the opposite of Lutheran. LCMS is still Lutheran
One question : was that a female acolyte in the video , or a man with long hair ??
That's a man. He has long hair!
