Very nice post. It's surprising how many folks get annoyed by the proper use of honorifics, preferring to focus in on a favored title than a correct one. It belies a fundamental misunderstanding of the Lutheran Doctrine of Vocation, IMO. -ghp Amen and Amen!

"What about the flipside? Those called and ordained by God but not officially titled by any earthly organization?" My response to that is... how do we know who God has called apart from those issued calls from a Christian congregation? We don't. We believe that our system of issuing calls through a local congregation is from God and apart from that we have no promise or guarantee. I was asked on twitter… “What about the flipside?
