In the heady early days of Lutherans blogging I had just opened the predecessor of Blog My Soul for business and regularly participated in discussions on other’s blogs. One of these discussions ended up in a personal exchange, both in blog comments and in e-mail, with Andrew, a student at one of the seminaries who, at the time of the conversation, was serving as vicar. The purpose of posting the conversation is not to evoke a defense of the Scriptures or the Confessions, but to get you thinking about what is it that defines a Lutheran identity (vs. a Christian identity)? Is there a difference? And if there is, what does this mean for us as Lutherans?

Blog My Soul
The ruminations of a Lutheran cleric on liturgy and the Divine Service, Lutheran culture, sermons, devotional writing, tidbits from some of the projects I am working on. Above all else, Blog My Soul is a very personal endeavor, so 'professional' pieces will appear along side pictures of the grandchildren, commentary, and eclectic bits of life lived out as a child of God praying "Come, Lord Jesus."
