Maybe there's some hope in all kinds of unlikely places
As Gene Veith notes, back in the day Lutherans had their "crypto-Calvinist controversy."
And now, it seems, Calvinists are having a "crypto-Lutheran controversy." Seems that some Presbyterians are actually daring to grant the Sacraments the place in the Christian life that Scripture does.
So maybe there's some hope for our brethren who traditionally have trouble deciding whether they're disciples of Christ or of Plato. And who knows? Maybe, if we look hard enough, we might even find a few crypto-Lutherans in the ELCA.
Nahhhhh. Surely by now they all have left.
Still, you can never tell...
