- Overheard at #LCMSMTC breakfast: One church has a “multisensory” service where they plan to pipe in scents. #
- #LCMSMTC: We don’t use contemporary because that can mean anything. We call it “multisensory” because it makes people curious. #
- #LCMSMTC LSB Morning Prayer was quite good. Serious male unison.
# - #LCMSMTC Stoterau: we observed worship without use of scripture or liturgical calendar half of the year at some churches #
- #LCMSMTC Ted Kober: doctrine does matter, but so does how we treat each other over differences #
- #LCMSMTC Kober: underlying interests drive disagreements – seek the why. #
- #LCMSMTC NICE presentation by Jeff Gibbs. I couldn’t take enough notes! #
- #LCMSMTC Larry Vogel: Psalm 50 and 51 indicate worship may be a spiritual low, not high. #
- #LCMSMTC Vogel: Evangelical communion strength is service in the word, but empty of Christ’s body it is just carbohydrate #
- #LCMSMTC Vogel: RCC communion strength is its sacramental emphasis. We have both Word and sacramental emphasis even in CW. #
- #LCMSMTC Beecroft: pastoral theology must be sacramental. We believe Christ truly present in our midst and we should act as such. #
- #LCMSMTC Gibbs: we don’t eat the Body with our soul. #
- #LCMSMTC Vogel: we can have all the shell and trapping of worship but no Christ // if there’s no Word? #
- #LCMSMTC Gibbs: We only think Christ is the guest. He’s the host. #
- #LCMSMTC What we saw in CW thus morning is an improvement over what I have seen in other CW services. Still, big issues exist. #
- #LCMSMTC Dien Ashley Taylor: our Christ-purchased freedom allows us to be noble and nimble in ways that proclaim the glory of Christ #
- #LCMSMTC Taylor: do not be idiosyncratically contextual for contextual’s sake. We are the church catholic. #
- #LCMSMTC Two CW pastors say the no. of services keeps them from doing Adult Bible class. One pastor explains as he goes, as a result. #
- #LCMSMTC Mason Beecroft: Retaining the Mass is key to being missional and vocational. #
- #LCMSMTC Beecroft: God uses physical means to share holy things with His people. #
- #LCMSMTC Steve Arnold: most of our members find what we do to be incomprehensible. #
- #LCMSMTC Arnold: church needs to be a safe place from the world…where do women and minorities feel comfortable? more sen. gender language #
- #LCMSMTC Jeff Cloeter Our sacraments form missionary disciples and vocational specialists. #
- #LCMSMTC Cloeter: The Great Commission is not satisfied by only bringing people to church. #
- #LCMSMTC Cloeter: Worship as Vocation: freedom in Christ for service to neighbor. #
- #LCMSMTC Cloeter: Christians are animated by the Body and the Blood. There is something weird about us who encounter God in the sacraments #
- #LCMSMTC Cloeter: a good sermon is one that the listener can preach to his friends #
- Internet access was turned off this afternoon at Concordia, so likely no posts for Wednesday. #
- #LCMSMTC Pres. Kieschnick: people without God are in disarray; people with Christ are united. #
- #LCMSMTC Charles Arand: Practices flow from doctrine, so some adiaphora are better than others. #
- #LCMSMTC Charles Arand: Human traditions do not save, but they have purposes and value, primarily to teach and to have church order. #
- #LCMSMTC Arand: Our rites need to tell the full story: the creation, the reclaiming of creation, and the renewal of creation. #
- #LCMSMTC Arand: use collegiality to find balance between catholic-lutheran connection to church and using tools of a particular place #
- #LCMSMTC James Waddell: we do not have theological unity on adiaphora. #
- #LCMSMTC Waddell: some churches use contemporary worship does not communicate the Gospel clearly or at all. #
- #LCMSMTC Art Just: Theology is in body, is fleshly. How should we act based on who we are. #
- #LCMSMTC Art Just: Our Protestant religious culture treats Christ as if he is not here, as if the finite cannot contain the infinite. #
- #LCMSMTC Just: within the historical liturgy we believe, teach, and confess Christ given to us for the forgiveness of sins. #
- #LCMSMTC Just: how do we take our catholic faith into the postmodern world? #
- #LCMSMTC Just: even Rome has submitted to our Protestant religious culture. #
- #LCMSMTC I can’t tweet enough Arthur Just. Wow. #
- #LCMSMTC Just: We lost sight of the miracles our liturgical worship contains. We are settling for less than heaven itself. #
- #LCMSMTC Gibbs: some churches just have one Saturday morning membership class #
- #LCMSMTC Arand: in the 16th century preaching and teaching were the same thing. The distinction arose out of pietism. #
- #LCMSMTC Magness: the liturgy is not an impediment to the Gospel. #
- #LCMSMTC Taylor: creeds are helpful, when so many people believe so many things. They remind us there is an expessed unity. #
- #LCMSMTC Conference is over! So much to mull over and report. #

Dan these a great! Any word on the podcasts yet? One of my elders was asking me about it too.
I’ve asked Rachel Asburry to let me know when audio is published.
I’m glad to hear that you’ll find out. I really want to listen to some of them again, and point others to them.
