I think some of his crits are valid and those on the Liturgical side would do well to heed them. But like you I'm not sure pr. Waddell is standing in the middle ground as he claims.Rev. Jonathan C.

Waddell is not very mindful of either the meaning or the intention of the Lutheran Confessions' comments about worship. You put your finger on it: the amount of time he spends criticizing those who are supporting and defending the historic worship forms and practices of the Lutheran Church is quite revealing. I think his book is a hodge-podge of ex post facto justifications for his own personal choices in tinkering with the liturgy.Paul McCainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04846468267196335350noreply@blogger.com
