- ELCA vs. Missouri Synod - Major Differences? - Christian Forums
The ELCA is the product of a series of mergers and represents the largest (5 2 million member) Lutheran church body in North America The ELCA was created in 1988 by the uniting of the 2 85 million member Lutheran Church in America, 2 25 million member American Lutheran Church, and the 100,000 member Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches
- Being Christian in the ELCA
Hi, I'm new here I grew up in the ELCA Not by choice, though My dad disliked the Catholic Church and made the whole family go to a Lutheran- ELCA Church As I grew older, I did go to many Catholic masses (my mom is Catholic and my wife is also Catholic) and I felt like I disagreed with some of the things the Catholic Church did
- What are the Differences between WELS, ELCA, and LCMS?
While this may be your personal feelings about the ELCA, you are not permitted to "bash" another denom or sect within By claiming joining an ELCA church is a "mistake", you are in violation of Site Rule #2 Rule No 2 - No "Trolling" 2) You will not post anything that disrupts the peace and harmony of this forum
- Elca - Christian Forums
To the ELCA joining together has been the trend for a long time and they feel comfortable with it If the ELCA was talking about making a decision for Christ or re-instituting the Roman church's sacrament of Pennance, I'd see that as a repudiation of the Evangelical Lutheran Faith
- Differences in LCMS, ELCA, WELS - Christian Forums
ELCA allows women to be pastors, LCMS and WELS do not Once upon a time, if I remember right from long-ago confirmation class, before the LCA and ALC merged to become ELCA, I seem to remember that the different synods were formed somewhat from geography
- ELCA vs. UMC - Christian Forums
If there are those in the ELCA--which is the church I belong to--who not only do not believe that here is the true flesh and blood of Christ in and under the bread and the wine, but also have a position teaching false doctrine and are mangling the faith of those to whom they have been given charge then they really shouldn't be in any position
- Troubles leaving the ELCA - Christian Forums
So as many of you know, there are churches in the ELCA attempting to leave the church following the 2009 assembly But some have hit roadblocks according to the ELCA's "required" process for leaving which includes 2 votes with a 2 3 majority in each separated by at least 90 days and a meeting with the bishop
- ELCA Pastors and the Lectionary - Christian Forums
I was asked awhile ago if ELCA pastors are supposed to always follow the lectionary I know it is common practice in the ELCA, at least for Sunday services I wasn't sure, but I could remember one Lent when the ELCA congregation I attended had a pastor that did a series on Noah and that obviously wasn't the lectionary
