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
Is it right to say that the ELCA is not really Lutheran? Rev Donald J McCoid, ELCA executive for ecumenical and inter-religious relations, responded to the resolution's passage, stating that in the ELCA's Social Statement: Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust, there are differing conclusions on the basis of biblical and theological interpretation within the ELCA regarding same-gender lifelong relationships
ELCA will not remove conscience protections for gay marriage opponents . . . Many ELCA congregations take a moderate position where people agree to disagree, and try to extend grace to other perspectives on same-sex relationships This is far more typical in that kind of Lutheranism on a range of other issues, whereas the Episcopal Church has more of a tradition of the episcopacy acting in a clearer prophetic or public
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
