Worship as Repentance: Lutheran Liturgical Traditions and Catholic Consensus

Last updated on: October 12, 2020 at 8:14 am By Clint Schnekloth

Skip Sundberg’s new book, Worship as Repentance: Lutheran Liturgical Tradition and Catholic Consensus, is equal parts historical recovery, liturgical renewal, and wistful theology. It is surprising that such a “modest” proposal (he is primarily proposing changes in liturgical practice) can have such deep anthropological and theological implications. Here’s Sundberg’s basic definition of worship: “To call Christians to repentance; to warn them to be under no illusion as to who they are and how far they fall short when they stand before God...

Guns in Church

Last updated on: August 3, 2019 at 6:55 pm By Clint Schnekloth

I’d really rather not write about guns. They’re not a particular interest of mine. I’m periodically amused by participation in laser tag outing, and we do have a few Nerf guns around the house. But mostly guns just make me nervous. The real kind, that is. They’re packed with explosives that make a small metal projectile travel faster than the speed of sound and destroy pretty much whatever they impact. Anyone who isn’t slightly nervous around guns is deluded. Respect... Read more

An Inquiry Into New Year’s Resolutions

Last updated on: January 1, 2022 at 5:02 pm By Clint Schnekloth

An Inquiry into New Year’s Resolutions The Rev. Clint Schnekloth [1] The New Year engenders a flurry of soul-searching behavior, earnest plans resolving to change current behaviors, introduce new habits and cease old ones. The practice is so common that the U.S. government even has a web page listing the statistically most popular resolutions, including links to resources that will assist in achieving the new goals.[1] Here’s the list for 2012: Drink Less Alcohol Eat Healthy Food Get a Better...

On New Year’s Resolutions…

Last updated on: January 1, 2022 at 5:03 pm By Clint Schnekloth

New Isn’t So Shiny Eccl. 1.9 What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun. Although you might not know it, what with all the religious boosterism on the American religious market these days, but actually most religious traditions, including my own, include an incredibly healthy dose of skepticism. Nowhere is that more apparent in the scriptures Christians and other traditions hold sacred, than in... Read more

The Art of Curating Worship

Last updated on: October 12, 2020 at 8:15 am By Clint Schnekloth

2010 has been a Sparkhouse year. Sparkhouse is an imprint of Augsburg Fortress, and this past year they have published some stellar resources, including my personal favorite, re:form, a confirmation curriculum (they also published a great VBS we used this summer, re:new, and a book on Church in the Inventive Age by Doug Pagitt). I actually think the re:form confirmation curriculum is the best confirmation curriculum I’ve seen, ever! When I learned they were also working on a new resource... Read more

J.M. Coetzee’s Elizabeth Costello

Last updated on: April 27, 2020 at 8:49 pm By Clint Schnekloth

I had already read a couple of the chapters of Elizabeth Costello about two years ago in a slim volume, the Lives of Animals. Most of the chapters in this book are re-printed from a variety of other sources, including literary journals and conference publications. It was interesting re-reading these disconcerting lectures on vegetarianism. What are you supposed to think at the end of these things, anyway? That’s what I think after every chapter in Coetzee’s book. I was especially... Read more

“Der du die Zeit in Händen hast”

Last updated on: February 29, 2004 at 4:20 pm By Clint Schnekloth

“Der du die Zeit in Händen hast” Jochen Klepper–from Kyrie-Geistliche Lieder Part of my lenten discipline is putting some of Klepper’s poetry into singing English. Failing that, perhaps some halting English. Here it is in German. I’ll be posting some drafts for whatever you may make of it this Lent. You can find other texts of his here. Sorry, German readers only. Which is why I am translating. 1: Der du die Zeit in Händen hast, Herr, nimm auch dieses... Read more
