“The heart overflows with gladness, and leaps and dances for the joy it has found in God. In this experience the Holy Spirit is active, and has taught us in the flash of a moment the deep secret of joy. You will have as much joy and laughter in life as you have faith in God.”  These are the words of Martin Luther, the man who started the Lutheran Church which soon led to the creation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. The Church was officially formed on January 1, 1988 and was a combination

The Lutheran religion was originally branched from Christianity, and is a massive Protestant denomination currently. Nearly 66 million people worldwide practice this religion (Lutheranism).

Comparing Lutheran vs Baptism Lutherans and Baptists are both Christians who are also Protestants. They share many beliefs and have more similarities than differences. Both happen to be reformists within the fold of Christianity. However, there are many different branches of Baptists with differences between them too. In Lutheran, baptism is seen as a work of God and so even infants are baptized. On the other hand, baptism is only for believers among Baptists, and this is the reason why infants are

The film Luther (2003) did not accurately portray the social and political aspects of the Protestant Reformation. The film does not give enough detail to historically represent the German peasants and nobility; it also dramatizes political characters and events to specifically target Luther’s enemies, giving inaccurate information in the process. The film lacks the detail to historically portray the social aspects successfully because the plot orbits around Martin Luther; it omits different aspects

Before the Reformation, medieval Christians all worshipped under the same universal idea of Christendom. The catholic faith had existed for centuries (since 325 C.E. Constantinople, Council of Nicaea) without opposition to it legitimacy, but at the turn of 1500s new ideas on Christian belief erupted all over Europe causing a split between the Church. Christianity prior to the reformation was a part of the worshippers’ everyday life. Their home, work, and social lives were oriented around the Church

The inclusion of the Eucharistic Prayer within the Lutheran liturgy has been the topic of a controversial theological debate and has been the core of the divide within the Lutheran denominations. Those for the Eucharistic prayer, including churches within the Evangelical Lutheran Church America argue for the ecumenical aspect of the Eucharistic prayer since Catholic church and the Eastern traditions practice the Eucharistic prayer, the traces of the ancestral Jewish tradition of table grace as welling

On Saturday 7, 2015, Alex, Michael and I drove to the Holy Cross Lutheran Church located in 11515 Ashcake Road Ashland, Virginia (about a 5 minute drive away from campus). The first thing that caught my attention was the external structure of the church. The architecture of the church is old school and it looks like a wooden house. Inside the church we could immediately tell that there were at least two floors. The top floor was where the altar was located and where the congregation took place. As

This past weekend, I was visiting my alma mater (Capital University-Columbus, Ohio) for their annual Homecoming weekend. Like many homecoming events, there was various gatherings of different organizations, walk through various buildings to relive the past and see new changes, watch the annual football game, and rekindle with old friends. It was then I began thinking about the various traditions we had at Capital. One tradition involves a gate which faced Main St (a busy street in the neighborhood

Society was exceptionally different in the 1500’s compared to now. Complex ideas from intelligent individuals and explorers lead us to modernity. Additionally, new technology directed society to new changes in everyday life and impacted our world in many ways. Finally, reformers and explorers who produced these ideas and technologies impacted our society greatly and mended it to modernity. Abstract ideas, technology, and leaders in the 1500’s modernized our world to be the way it is today. Vast

When I think of the Protestant Reformation, the first thing that comes to mind is the Augsburg Confession. The protestant reformation can be defined as the 16th-century religious, political, intellectual and cultural upheaval that splintered Catholic Europe, setting in place the structures and beliefs that would define the continent in the modern era. The augsburg confession is the foremost confession of faith for the Lutheran Church. It was written by Phillip Melanchton and presented to Charles

For my extra credit project, I went to the Lutheran church in my hometown. I was raised and confirmed in the Methodist church, so my experience this Sunday was a little different than most of my Sundays. I learned that there are more differences between the two then I expected. I honestly did not think that another religion based on Christianity would be that different. Before the service, I did a little bit of research of the Lutheran church. I wanted to know what the actual definition of a

Reclaiming Pietism by Roger Olson and Christian Winn explains the many and sometimes widely varying views of Pietism that swirl around the term in contemporary culture—including Christian culture. Olson grew up in pentecostal home and church, though attending a seminary founded by German Pietists instilled in him a warm-hearted evangelicalism that replaced the emotional Pentecostalism in his youth. Later through life, Olson taught at a Christian college founded by Swedish Pietists and discovered

On Monday 04/23/17, Sherri Guidry submitted the resume of Sean McGraw to Perlon. This is candidate that Sherri sourced through her own efforts. Sean relocated from New York to Columbia, SC. His employer at the time (Cintas) offered to transition him to a driving position at a rate of $12.00/HR. In New York, he was earning roughly 80K. Since he was relocated for personal reasons related to his family and because of the difference in cost of living (SC vs NY is about a 60% reduction), he was willing
