Spiritless Lutherans?

Pentecost and Holy Trinity Sunday seem to bring on "mea culpae" about the Holy Spirit among Lutheran pastors that we give short-schrift to the Holy Spirit in Lutheranism. If that's so, we're missing out on the basics of what a Church of the Augsburg Confession proclaims and furthermore, exposing our deficit over against the use of the Sacraments among us. We do indeed lack a theology of the Holy Spirit if the Lord's Supper is a bi-monthly /monthly/quarterly inconvenience that shortens the sermon and threatens God's 60 minute shot clock on the Lord's Day.
The return of the historic liturgy of Word and Sacrament is necessary for the Church's renewal - no, faithfulness - especially in our dark age of violence, vengeance, and war. But in any time, who are we to think ourselves so righteous that we have no need to taste of God's grace on a weekly basis? (See Augsburg Confession V) Are Lutherans as arrogant as Rush Limbaugh and believe they can operate with one "Means of Grace" tied up (in the vicissitudes of human preferences) behind their collective backs?
Holy Ghost theology for Lutherans is the church, public and visible, announcing the Gospel. The Holy Spirit is the preacher of the Gospel after all! (Large Catechism II, 38) Moreover, "He (is the one who) calls, gathers, enlightens, and makes holy the whole Christian church". (Small Catechism II, 6) Where? On earth! Here in creaturely life he keeps us with Jesus Christ and daily enables the forgiveness of our sins.
If we do have a poor doctrine of the Holy Spirit, or if our doctrine loses track of what the Spirit works among us, then we do have a problem that is surely not a matter of indifference, but a matter that makes every difference between a bold Christian faith envisioned by a church of the Augsburg Confession and a good-deed-doin'-God - pleasin' - good - people society
