Apparently, there was a heated discussion in the Lutheran blogosphere yesterday about rose vestments and probably deeper related issues. I’ve tried to find it, but only found oblique references here and here. In a conversation I had with a few people on Twitter last night, it obviously has left in its wake confusion and hurt feelings. However, I can’t find it. I have not kept up with blog reading much lately, and yesterday was a very busy day for me from beginning to end, so could somebody please enlighten me where the discussion was happening?
Real priests live in charity (or, Real priests wear rose, redux)

There’s a fairly involved discussion here
This is precisely why I stopped, several months ago, following most blogs. Lots of much ado about nothing, a lot of the time, and chatter incessantly about a lot of trivia.
And a lot of “Lutheran-oneupmanship” going on constantly, with a very healthy dose of fundamentally bad thinking and analysis going on.
Anyone who gets all googley-eyed about wearing pink/rose vestments or who gets red in the face at the thought of those who wear them: all of them need to get a life!
I have a good friend who shall, for his own protection remain nameless, who will frequently exclaim when aware of such blogosphere tempests: “This makes me want to stop being a Christian.”
I am led to the profound question: “Who cares?!”"
But seriously, how do we get from “rose” to “pink” and why is rose or pink a color of joy?
These are the mysteries that keep me up at night.
At least you guys aren’t putting up tabernacles. Does Eckardt wear pink too?
I’m getting confused.
