I've reached the bottom of the big barrel of #Lutheran #clergy in my #familyHistory in the Upper County of #Sponheim now with one very speculative case hailing from #trarbach (there is still one stray clergymen in the pipeline from a completely unrelated branch)

Gossner—German Reformed and Lutheran minister—lists the components of divine service without apparent hierarchy. Suffer. Praise God. Preach the Gospel. Love the neighbor. Visit the widow and fatherless in their affliction. Keep unspotted from the world. It’s a complete list. One notes that contemporary spokesmen for historic conservative Christianity tend to cover some items more thoroughly than others, and develop considerable theological ingenuity around the remainder.

#Lutheran #clergy in the centuries after the #reformation was a dense family network. Not only did the priests aspire that at least one son followed in their profession, they also networked to ensure their daughters married clergymen. In today's blog entry I've written up some of the resulting #matrilines in my #familyhistory.

Martin Luther taught that covetousness—the restless desire for more—must be put to death. The Christian test is plain: the Golden Rule, dealing with others as we would be dealt with, the foundation of equity and justice.
Yet today complaints of unfairness are often dismissed as envy, and the charge of coveting is turned upon the complainant rather than the sin.

Andreas Hyperius, a 16th-century Flemish Lutheran/Reformed theologian, reads “You shall not steal” with unnerving specificity: withholding wages, shaving pay, defaulting on what is owed. His moral clarity assumes obedience reaches into ordinary economic life—even where raising such concerns makes people bristle. Scripture leaves little room for comfortable evasions.

David Chytraeus, the Lutheran theologian, reads 1 John with unnerving clarity: to refuse love is already a kind of death. Christ’s self-giving redefines what life looks like, and when we seal our hearts against need, we quietly deny that love lives in us at all. Love, then, must become concrete—truth taking flesh in action.
How can you show love?

Steven Ozmet's work on the Swiss Reformation helps to make a good deal of sense of why Calvin's Two Kingdoms theology has a weaker distinction than Luther's. (Calvin did learn the hard way the challenges of integrating church and governance, incidentally.)
