This episode reaches beyond the issues that exist only in the Lutheran world and into the world of Mere Christianity. To vest or not to vest—that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of sacerdotal charges, or to take up arms against a sea of satire and by opposing end them. Our guest, Doug Wilson (pastor of Christ Church, Moscow, ID) has something to say about it. The occasion for the chat was a blog post he had written in 2018, Surplices are for Sissies, focusing on the importance that the pastoral office need to be masculine in voice, action, and representation. Our conversation discussed that and more. Wilson is eminently reasonable on the topic, as you will no doubt see.
