“Since in fact liturgical traditions, vestments, church vessels, etc., were immediately removed wherever Calvinism infiltrated or Reformed ideas even gained influence in the church's polity, the reaction which it caused in Lutheran areas was a conscious propensity for ceremonies.

At that point, as a teenager, I began to grasp the concept of Christ's true love and forgiveness.”
Michele Bachmann“From my father I heard only these words: "But you were born for such a day as this." He closed the book and my mother joined him in embracing me. They prayed over me and they gave me a blessing.

The kind you can't speak of without crying all over again.”
