Hear this history behind the term “adiaphora,” the Smalcald wars, and how we apply this word to our church practices. Do certain things really matter? Are we just agreeing to disagree or is there more to it? What do we as Lutherans consider adiaphora?

Rev. Jacob Hercamp, pastor of Saint Peter Lutheran Church in La Grange, Missouri, joins host Rev. Sean Smith to discuss The Epitome of the Formula of Concord, Article X: Church Practices (Status of the Controversy paragraphs 1 &2).

Pull out your Book of Concord and join a lively discussion of the Lutheran Confessions. Each week, host Rev. Sean Smith and a roundtable groups of guests take an in-depth look at passages from parts of the Book of Concord so you can have a deeper understanding of your Lutheran faith.
