Should we reinstate apostolic succession

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]I don't I I support apostolic succession. I think that it is something for the sake of good order. There's just no reason not to do it.

[00:00:07]Uh the Scandinavian Lutherans have always had apostolic succession.

[00:00:11]Uh and like there to me there's just no negative side to it. Do I think it's of an absolute necessity? No. Uh but for the sake of good order, is there reason not to if it could improve like relations with other groups? Like there's no reason to make it a barrier.

[00:00:26]It doesn't have to be. It shouldn't be.

[00:00:28]So I would recommend doing it. But uh I'm not the entirety of the ALC or LCMS.

[00:00:34]So I can I can can't do that.

[00:00:37]Uh but I certainly think that that's something that I would love to see us move toward.

[00:00:44]Yeah.
