Though I am currently working on my membership with my local LCMS, I still run with ecumenical circles maintained in the form of bible studies. Non denominations/evangelicals, really have a low view of classical order or anything that points to tradition designed to bring us back to Christ.
This is more evident in their monthly open table communion, they refuse to listen to why Lutherans have a closed table communion every week. They recoil that not all can come to that altar and receive the bread and wine, because it’s between them and God and it’s not the pastor or anyone else that should restrict the table.
The fidelity of tradition, symbols, rites need to be maintained, honored, and catechized, that here is where everyone has fallen short.
