Today on the blog we’re sharing an article that our very own Kristen Einertson wrote for the Concordia Seminary publication of Grapho last spring! Entitled “Tradition: Handing Down the Light to the Next Generation,” this essay discusses the use of the liturgical calendar in the church and home as well as the ways in which our Lutheran heritage supports “liturgical living.” If you’re curious about the scriptural pattern of faith customs or how the Lutheran Confessions advocates for the celebration of feasts and festivals, we encourage you to read the entire piece below!
In addition to the article, “Back to the Sources”—a Concordia Seminary St. Louis podcast—interviewed Kristen about the article. You can give it a listen here, too!
