While ceremonies "are not in and of themselves divine worship," (FC Ep X:3) faith nevertheless uses these outward ceremonies to express that true worship which is "in spirit and truth" (Jn 4:23), so that ceremonies become "a sacrifice of praise" (Ap XXIV:74).

putting a host in a monstrance but only during the distribution of the Sacrament
Until evangelical bishops in ACNA bring up presentments on Anglo Catholic bishops for practicing Eucharistic adoration, it’s all sort of a joke.

"Following the death of King Harald V of Norway on August 28, it is fitting to recall the message he sent to the 2018 Centennial Convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod."

With all the church architecture talk, while it is worthwhile to show that grandeur is still achievable, it's more relevant to show what can be done even on a smaller scale.

Four years ago, Bethany Lutheran Church (ELS) in The Dalles, OR, completed a renovation on a very modest budget but the results are still quite striking. Beauty is accessible even for small congregations in humble buildings!

I posted this church over a year ago and the guy who sent me the photos told me this is going to be their fellowship hall and the sanctuary is under construction (iirc)

Men and women sitting intermingled? Modernist.
Anglicanismo antes do anglo-catolicismo era assim, e isso era oq Laud queria e q os presbiterianos achavam high church. Entao quem acha q o presbiterianismo é "reformed catholic" só foi apresentado a uma visao imaginária de protestantismo histórico. RZ disseminou uma mentira

One of our ELS congregations (Trinity in West Bend, WI) has hat clips on all of the pews on the Gospel side since men would remove their hats for worship but women, seated on the opposite side, would keep them on.
