We do have a small icon of the BVM and Christ child in the side chapel at our current (Lutheran) church, and our recent Vicar had a closet devotion to her, I suspect. (She agreed when I once mentioned my fondness for the doctrine of the Assumption.) But that’s about as far as things Marian go around there.

For those of us who have a not-so-closet devotion but find ourselves in the rank and file of the ELCA clergy, it is tough to negotiate. In seminary I used to regularly attend services for feast days at other churches, but that has gotten increasingly difficult. I would have loved nothing more than a full on service of the Dormition, but I don’t think my folks are quite ready for that one yet.
