  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

what's the difference?

I don't know much about Lutheranism, but I wanted to know what's the difference in belief and practice among conservative Lutherans and conservative Anglicans?

How one translates the Word of God is one difference. Lutherans look to Scripture whereas the Anglicans have the Book of Prayer.

Which seems more legitimate?

Guess I don't see these as the same issue. Can you elaborate? It appears that the Book of Prayer and the Book of Concord would be more appropriately identified in the same role for each confessing community.

The Book of Concord is viewed as secondary to the Scriptures in Lutheranism. Is the Book of Common Prayer viewed as secondary to the Scriptures in Anglicanism, or is it on par with or primary apart from the Scriptures?

Actually the BOCP is more like Luther's Small Catechism and the Lutheran Worship combined together with the Alternate Service Book (ASB). I was wrong and admit it. The differences between Anglicans and Lutherans is in the type of church politicos.
