I lived "Low Church Missouri." It was "non-communion Sundays" and pastors never explaining what anything meant. We didn't know that Lutherans were catholic and instead were fearful of doing anything that looked like it

We received routine correspondence encouraging us to continue, saying that Gottesdienst was a breath of fresh air, an oasis in the desert, a voice in the wilderness, a light in the darkness, etc.  In short, we had tapped into a crying need--including among many lay people--for our Lutheran church to rediscover her heritage and liturgical beauty.

The problem with Low Church Missouri was not simply that it was “low.” The problem was that, too often, nobody had stopped to think about why things were being done. If Dr. Biermann’s video helps us to recognize this danger by way of example, then he has done the church a great service.
