Just thought you would like to know that there are reformed churches, who are not Lutheran, who hold similar traditions. The German Reformed churches, of the Heidelberg persuasion also observe many of these traditions. As the article stated, they need to stand the test of Scripture.

As an aside; I was reading this week that people with dementia often maintain a spiritual life after other faculties are gone. The ones who had traditions, liturgies, creeds, etc. fare better. They recall those things when then can remember little else.
