One of my regulars asked me a question that I found fairly interesting. This chap is in his 80s and was raised in one of the several Brethren churches (ie. classical Anabaptists) that are ubiquitous in Southern Ohio. He was speaking about a time when he was much younger and you could set up a tent on the outskirts of town and have preaching every night for a week or 2. He asked, "Pastor, why can't we do that now?"
Too many 'confessional' Lutherans would pop up to say: "That's revivalism; we don't do that." But I'm not opposed. If he and the mayor (who is also a congregant) want to pitch a tent or set me up in the park for a week, I'll work up an order of prayer, Scripture readings, and sermon for every night. A tent meeting is not antithetical to Lutheranism. It's just that they were generally poorly executed by American Evangelicals and took on a certain stigma.
