One of the problems with being a Lutheran at an Episcopalian seminary is that when I make jokes about “pastors,” no one laughs. When I change the language to “priests,” then everyone laughs. It’s like a completely different world over here.

On a more academic note, I highly recommend a book by Henry Eyster Jacobs, about the Reformation-era relations between Lutherans and Anglicans. It was controversial in its time.
(I also published an article in “Anglican & Episcopal History” on the shared liturgical heritage, which talks about the way that heritage was interpreted in the 19th century. Still relevant to understanding the bizarre relationship.)
ooo. I’ll check them out.
