what specifically encourages you to do double duty on Sunday?
To be honest, I have no idea… but every Sunday when I think I’ll have to choose one over the other God clears the way for me to attend both… so I do.

I only ask because a male Catholic family member, married to a Protestant, does double duty on Sunday. His wife otoh, doesn’t reciprocate the same in return.

It’s not that hard… for me the hard part for me is getting Sunday’s off from work.

Traditions of the church are really the only differences… that I’ve noticed so far… even some of those are the same in both churches.

Hi Annad, as an active member of both Churches do you receive the Eucharist at both services?

Yes, and before you ask the priest from both churches know I do… they also know I go to both churches.
 
Thank you for your honesty. Your experience must be quite interesting.
It is, I also enjoy the bible study classes I go at both churches… the Lutheran church is an extension of the services that day… the Catholic church is a study of the bible, we’re are just starting the New Testament. I’m truly sorry I missed the Old Testament… but I love that we are in the New Testament.
 
Sorry, I never meant for you to reveal your actual church. I should of asked it differently. Mostly I am curious if the Lutheran Church is a very liturgical structured service that almost resembles the Catholic Church or if it is more of an Evangelical flavor.

I will quit asking questions…although I wish I could pick your brain over coffee.:roll_eyes:
 
Its okay, I don’t mind… I just don’t want to take this thread off its original topic.

To stick to being honest I have a hard time really understanding what liturgy means… but the church I go to has a LOT of similarities to the Catholic church… only difference is they are believe only what is in the bible, (guess you would say they are sola scriptura) though I notice they have a lot of similar traditions of the Catholic church. They recite many of the same prayers we recite, do a confession of sins as Catholics do in service. They pray for others… recite the Lords Prayer. During the Eucharist, they pray for us, it will become the body and blood of Christ.

They read from the old testament, new testament then the Gospel which is followed by the priest preaching. They don’t always read a psalms verse, but sometimes they do.

Except for a few tiny details both services are almost the same. hope that answered you’re question.

Show where I ever expected that.
Since you pretty regularly dismiss the work of this commission (and in particular statements from the Balamand, Ravenna, and Chieti meetings) as not being “final”, you’ll have to forgive me being confused as to what you expect out it.

Go back over the last 100 posts and see if you can determine if there is a point to this thread anymore. Your entrance is welcome and your situation may bring fruit.

It can be either, or a blend, but a Lutheran Divine Service or Mass should always include some basic elements, invocation, liturgy /service of the Word, including scripture and homily, Confession/Absolution, liturgy / service of the sacrament, the Lord’s Supper.

Traditional Lutheran worship would sound very similar to a Novus Ordo mass to a Catholic.
A contemporary service might be more familiar to an American evangelical
