Pr. Sophie's Christmas Sin Quiz

Abstract: Lutherans think a lot about sin. Here are some questions to help organize your thoughts about sin this Christmas.

Pastor Sophie remembers fondly the Christmases of her childhood, and particularly the long hours following Christmas dinner when the dishes had been cleared away and the Fortresson family gathered around the table year after year to talk about sin, what it is and what it means.
Pr. Sophie continues to practice Yuletide contemplation of the Happy Fault (Felix culpa), and she encourages you to do the same.
Here are 10 questions to guide your Christmas meditation on sin. If you choose to respond to the questions, Pr. Sophie promises to discuss the results in a future issue of Lutheran (True!) Confessions.
