  1. 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)

  2. #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.

  3. 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?
