Weedon’s Blog: New Lutheran Quote of the Day:
“I confess that I share the view of those that feel that world Lutheran ties are more important than American solidarity. Â Quite apart from this, however, I have basic misgivings about the use of a three-year cycle of pericopes. Â With the irregular attendance of many of our people at divine worship and with the general lack of preparation for the service on the part of many of the worshippers that do come, I feel that a three-year cycle or even a two-year cycle would mean that many of our people would in the end be less acquainted with the Sacred Scriptures than they are now. Â — A. C. Piepkorn, The Sacred Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions, p. 13.”
