Close Communion, Stephen Bartelt
Close Communion, Stephen Bartelt
Master of Divinity Thesis
The scope of-this study, rather, is to see where the Lutheran church has stood on the practice, as well as its reasons for standing where it has.

We are continually in dialogue about what we are really saying when we use them. Are they adequate for our intentions? Should we retire some of them? By means of this paper we hope to discover what was said and what was meant by …
