Episode Synopsis

For many confessional Protestants, this week is the big one, the Holy One. Which leads to questions about ways Presbyterians, Anglicans, and Lutherans mark time. Which days are holy, which seasons does the church follow, and to what degree does a liturgical calendar divide or separate Protestants who trace their roots to the sixteenth century?  Without surprise, Lutherans and Anglicans follow the church calendar more than Presbyterians and may vary in their reasons for observance.  But Reformed Protestants designate some days as holy and may even elevate the week as a way of marking time over the rotation of the earth around the sun.   All this and maybe a little more on the latest recording of paleo-Protestants talking.
