Bring peace to all watching and all who made this service possible. Thank You for the choir members, God be with them :)

[@ThatLauraPerson]

For whatever reason this was on my home page “recommended for me” today.... in 2024! Shout out to those Lutheran High Westland singers! 😊

[@suzanneladue5828]

Thank You for this service, and these people

[@brendonpremkumar8207]

Wow, this is more catholic than even some of the Roman Catholic parishes! Wish more Lutheran parishes had traditional liturgy like this!

Its catholic but not roman.

This is celebrated in Lutheran liturgical tradition. Much was lost in the immigration to America in the 18th and 19th centuries where the Lutheran immigrants were without ordained clergy to lead them and in attempting to "blend in" to their new country, adopted many of the predominant "reformed protestant traditions", unfortunately losing their Lutheran liturgical traditions and Lutheran liturgical practices. Lutherans, unlike others, never abandoned the Mass at the Reformation.

[@stevenstuart4194]

It's not Catholic - the theology of the Eucharist was removed in the 16th century. It's just the husk of the Tridentine Mass without the Theology of the Mass.

[@davidbeattie1366]

I am familiar with the Anglo Catholic branch of the Episcopal/Anglican church but was not aware of the Lutheran version of “High Church”. In any case, beautiful service.

[@vngelicath1580]

It’s nice to see the Eucharistic prayer within a confessional Lutheran mass

Yes

Hi Stella Good afternoon. I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌺🌺🌺

[@guytakamatsu7326]

Thank you for chanting the preface. A Lutheran pastor, now deceased, used to chant the preface. I told some Catholic friends about the preface being chanted. I recognized the chant when I visited a Croatian Catholic Church. I also heard it chanted in Latin when I visited an SSPX congregation. Those 2 Visits took place 30 years ago. In recent times I visited a congregation, which celebrates the Tridentine Mass, or Extraordinary Latin Mass, with the approval of the Vatican. And I’ve heard the same chant. I wish the chanting of the preface was more 1:10:31 common in the Lutheran church. I had to do a search to find your service in which the preface was chanted.

[@sasquatchdonut2674]

Holy cow, they even use the same chants as in the High Catholic Mass! I didn’t know there were high services in the Lutheran church

[@Gospel_Street_Preacher]

Now you know 😂 but know the Lutheran religion is just as false as Roman Catholicism. Same false sacramental salvation

[@frogleg10]

no! They don't ordain women as that is prohibited in the writings of St Paul. Women function well in other vocations but the churches where they are ordained, are dying.

This type of high mass , would in my mind drew many faithful back to the church.. Lutheran Church here? I never seen type in the ELCA in my church but i believe it would benefit our church in declining membership...this is a wounderful service ..

This is similar to a Solemn High Mass in the Episcopal Church. I see that they borrowed the English gradual for the propers.

I am sorry that that happened. Christians don't always practice what they say they do.

[@-_--_-7460]

Everyone at Zion is greeted upon entering the building by the usher(s) and greeted upon leaving the nave by the entire procession. It's practically impossible to leave the building without shaking hands with 5 people on a normal Sunday (or in this case-- 12 people). The proper rubric for entering the nave is to "kneel in prayer" (IE silently) and the proper rubric for leaving the nave is to "depart in silence," which is why you won't see anybody greeting in the nave-- greeting occurs in the narthex (the room you enter when you walk in the front door of the building). These practices are printed in the ordos (bulletins) you see people holding during the service.

Why are you blocking &ava and KZbin from captioning? I turned &ava, a standalone desktop captioning app (software), to run the transcript. Nothing happens. Similar experience on Trinity Sunday clip when I start to view for first time yesterday. I run system check and I was fine when other presentation broadcast their voice, permitting captioning mode to run. Now, when I go to LCMS KZbinrs like Revs. WolfMueller, Cooper, Fisk, The Higher Things, LCMS, as well several other theological sites, it works fine. Unblock yours, please.

What hymns are being sung in the video? They're quite beautiful but I couldn't find them by looking up the words I was able to hear.

[@billTO]

The first hymn is I Will Arise and Go to Jesus, late 18th century. It's from the wonderful Sacred Harp collection s of 200 years ago. The last is a sh6mn etting of Samuel Barber's famous Adagio.

[@Reinildis1]

I do not believe if this is lutheran...

[@intensity33]

It very much is. Fr. Mark Braden is ordained in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Detroit is of the highest calibre of conservative, Confessional, Historical, and Liturgical Lutheranism. But indeed, it is a rare breed as many have succumbed to either theological liberalism and/or the influences of American Evangelicalism. Lord have mercy!

[@karlrovey]

It is. Just as some Lutheran areas made it to the 1800's before abandoning the Latin ordinary of the Liturgy, some congregations today have services nearly identical to Catholic services, which was one of the goals from the beginning.

[@megahamartolos6638]

@@intensity33 Amen. Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church - Detroit is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod's English District. Her pastor, Fr. Braden, is my seminary classmate. English District's current bishop, Rev. Dr. Jamison Hardy, graduated from Concordia Theological Seminary - Fort Wayne a few years before Braden and I did. What is recorded here in this service is closer to what Martin Luther would have recognized than what passes as "Lutheran" in this country.

What a shame to see the lutheran church going back to Catholic! This is what Luther got us away from! You don’t need all that parading down the aisle!

[@americanslav9694]

Luther did no such thing

[@lockerby]

This is exactly how Luther would have celebrated the mass!

[@joshuawashington758]

This is way closer to how Luther would've celebrated the Eucharist. His Formula Missae almost identical to the Latin Mass in Structure, Visual form and Solemnity. Of course Lutheranism has liturgically expanded in expression and form as time when on, but if we're talking about how Lutherans would've had it back then in his time... Then this is very close. My fellow Protestants, y'all literally don't need to let your anti-papism cause you to be revisionist about your liturgical histories.

[@that39warguy6]

A better statement would be what a shame the Lutheran/protestantism became so anti-catholic. Christ and his church is, has always been and should still be catholic. Luther attempted to reformed, not replace. This video is the greatest example of the mass as described in the confessions. Luther would approve, especially if a bishop was present, like this. I pray that you please meditate on the gospel and really dig deep into theology. Test everything by the Spirit. Look to reformed, methodist, baptist, Roman Catholic, Lutheran etc. Read the early church fathers. I pray you find which theology is the most true and attains the fullness of the gospel for yourself.

[@frogleg10]

What are you saying? I assume then your Lutheranism was developed here in America by immigrants who had no pastors and unfortunately took up the customers of the predominant "reformed protestants" of this country and lost their Lutheran faith and practice.
