“While it is true that Luther classed liturgical ceremonies as things indifferent (adiaphora), Pelikan points out that this did not mean, as Brilioth took it to mean, that Luther himself was indifferent to liturgy and liturgical forms.[80] Luther simply meant that precise liturgical forms and ceremonies had not been prescribed in detail in the gospel. Christ’s example is not binding on us, except by express command. Nevertheless, in his discourse on ceremonies (1520) with reference to Psalm 14, Luther pointed out that there is no public worship without forms. Liturgical forms should be used as a framework for the proclamation of the gospel.”
