PARIS (RNS) — Catholics and Lutherans have made another step toward joint commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017 by issuing common liturgical guidelines for ecumenical services to mark the occasion.
The guidelines, in a booklet called "Common Prayer," provide a template for an ecumenical service, complete with suggested prayers, appropriate hymns and themes for sermons.
"The Baker-Polito Administration Year in Review – 2016," released nearly a year after Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker assumed the corner office is, in many respects, a blistering indictment of Deval Patrick's eight years as governor.
It begins a section entitled "Fixes and Reforms," which lists as goals and objectives: "fixing a broken transportation system," "reforming a broken Department of Children and Families," "fixing the RMV," "fixing a broken Health Connector," and "fixing a broken Medical Marijuana dispensary system." In short, the document lays out the charges of years of progressive malfeasance in Massachusetts.
