Lutheran Zephyr is Lutheran

I'm Lutheran - no duh.

But in light of my question about what it means to be Lutheran, and the numerous responses to that question (listed in the right-hand column under the picture of my home run swing), I thought I'd reinterate my perspective on what it means to be Lutheran.

Here's a post I listed back in March, which is really a re-worked version of a September post.  To me, Lutheranism:

• knows that God comes down the ladder
• knows that God dwells where we least expect God to dwell
• takes sin seriously
• embraces paradox
• preaches about God (not about us!)
• embraces the common stuff of everyday life

Check out my earlier post for the gory details . . . And keep submitting your responses!

In Lutheran terms,

This is most certainly true :)

Nice! It'd be interesting to see where evangelicals disagree.

I'm happy to be "Lutheran" based on your list. :-)
