I have not and probably will not see the survey you are talking about, but I think that this is a great idea, to update "Luther's small catechism" with current issues and applaud the effort. I do however have some reservations even though I am not an educated theologian, I have been very disappointed in the ESV version of the Bible used for the scripture readings for the new hymnal and also the writers using the ESV version for the "Portals of Prayer". It is in my humble opinion a watered down version of the bible and to some extent changes the meaning of the scripture from what I have read and studied. We do not use those readings from the ESV in our church because of this. I would hope that this effort does not water down "Luther's small catechism" for we are supposed to be training our children in the way we should go. This last change in the bible translation used for the new hymnal was never really discussed much as far as I can see, at least not on a widespread basis. (I may be wrong and I appologize if I am) Respectfully your brother in Christ Jesus, Dave H
