YOU NEED TO BECOME A TRUE LUTHERAN NOT A FAKE ELCA LUTHERAN COME TO LCMS! THE ELCA IS FAKE AND WRONG! ITS NOT TRUE!

This seems like the kind of mass that I would like to attend. Pastor Matchan's delivery is graceful and modest, lacking the theatrics and bells and whistles that usually accompany church services anymore, thereby keeping the congregation's focus on God and communion and off of himself. I'm touched by the communion. Bravo.

@diz1downepinoy The way you can tell is that the congregation is actually singing. :)

@oakking1 Hard to believe; for me it more resembles a communion service of a presbyterian church than the Catholic mass. I attend it myself on regular basis. The postures are wrong, liturgical vestments incomplete, incomplete Eucharistic prayer, the loaf of bread and small cups. My video Högmässa i S:t Ansgar - High mass in Church of St. Ansgar 4 shows a mass which is very close to the Catholic one, in appearance.

@karpov89 Having been raised Catholic and having attended several Lutheran Services I can tell you this looks very close to Catholic. Many traditional Catholics use that as their complaint. I go to an Eastern Church now and I like the Liturgy better. It is just like Greek Orthodox, although, it is Catholic.

@trilobright Well I think the situation might be a bit different in America compared to Sweden so you are probably right.

@karpov89

Yes, I realize this. What I was saying was that compared to modern conservative Protestants (most Baptists, Calvary Chapels Pentecostals, etc) who are extremely hostile to tradition, costume, religious art, etc, this might SEEM Catholic. Like how a 68 degree house feels warm when you come home to it in winter, and cold in summer.

@trilobright Well I am sure a Quaker meeting does not looks Catholic, this does not look Catholic either.

@karpov89

To some extremist evangelicals, whose megachurch meetings are more like really (REALLY) lame rock concerts, who celebrate communion by passing around a tin of Ritz crackers and jug of Ocean Spray cran-grape cocktail, and whose pastors have botox and wear Hawaiian shirts, I'm sure even a Quaker meeting looks "Catholic". Treating the house of God like that is like showing up in sandals and some offensive tshirt from Hot Topic if you're invited to Buckingham Palace.
