We have a reading from the Catechism in our service each week. I am so glad that the Small Catechism is included as an element that you can include in each service. The first through fourth chief parts (Ten Commandments, Creed, Lord's Prayer, and Baptism) are divided as they are in the Synodical questions and answers, but the fifth and sixth chief parts (Confession/Office of the Keys and Holy Communion) are all one element each. I would find it helpful if Confession and the Office of the Keys were separate elements, and if the Sacrament of the Altar were divided into the same four divisions as in the SQ&A.

Because they aren't separated by headings in the hymnal itself, we didn't break them down into components. The first four Chief Parts are subdivided within the text itself, so we just carried that over into Builder.
I will have to ask around and see if we can do that.

MemberI had noticed that Cofession/Keys were not separated (and given the history of its inclusion in the Small Catechism, that didn't surprise me), but I had not noticed that the four sections under the Sacrament of the Altar were not divided and captioned like the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. Now it makes sense how things are divided up in Builder.
