A Pop Quiz
Thanks to Transpozsing, I forward a link to a nifty little quiz on Eucharistic Theology. I scored 100% on the Orthodox scale and only 84% on the Lutheran. Is it time for a change, say what?
I would wager that with the close coincidence of scores on Orthodox and Lutheran, we have evidence of the correctness of the Finnish School reading of Luther -- to wit, that he was much more akin to Orthodox ways of thinking than we have heretofore given him credit for.

Dwight, How telling is this? I scored %94 Orthodox and %81 as a Lutheran. Make way Pelikin, here we come.

Clearly, Daniel, I have some teaching and catechizing to do!
