Bud Grossmann’s Words of the Week for the Week of October 30, 2022 Ecclesiastical Commentary published on a college opinion board in 1973 and in Leave Us Grass in 1974. © 1973, 1974 by Bud Grossmann All Rights Reserved.   Books (2022) © 2022 by Bud Grossmann AFTER A REFORMATION SERVICE When I was a boy I got the Lutheran Hour album and I always used to play “A Mighty Fortress” and the men’s chorus would come in with . . . +    +    + The only thing wrong with the service was they used a setting that nobody knew. And for a Reformation service! This wasn’t the time to learn a new setting! The guy’s right you know. You should always learn a new setting each year on New Setting Day. And what day would that be? I don’t know. But not Reformation Day. And not Christmas. And certainly not Easter. And it couldn’t be any of the Trinity Sundays because they already all have names, like Sextugenesia. +    +    + People wear crosses a lot on Reformation Day, don’t they? Do they dress up for it, like Halloween? Precisely. They should have Martin Luther masks for little kids. ♦         ARCHIVES         Click for a list of other Words of the Week I would welcome your thoughts on this page (or any of my others).  Write to me at the following address.  Please be sure to spell Grossmann with two n’s and mention what page you are writing about.
