Kneelers?

For those that may not be familiar, the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) is another Lutheran church body in the United States with a Gerrman heritage. Sacramental fellowship between the WELS and the LCMS was broken in the 1960s as The LCMS explored a wider ecumenism as Rev. Rydecki refers in his post.
They have kneelers - and they use them
This posting reminds me greatly of the pious influence upon me by the elderly population of Concordia Lutheran Church, Bethlehem, PA. These children of Slovak immigrants demonstrated a faith that had been instilled since their childhood. I had never before seen a Lutheran make the sign of the cross. It caused me to ask the question; why? It was a surprise to me, who has been raised in a Roman-phobic world, that our own Small Catechism teaches us to make the sign of the cross in remembrance of our Baptism.
