| | Evangelical Lutheran Church in America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As a Lutheran church body, the ELCA professes belief in the "priesthood of all believers", or that all baptized persons are true ministers of the Church. | | | Before 1986, some of the congregations that form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada were part of the ELCA's predecessor churches. | | | The Church is a result of a merger between the Lutheran Church in America (LCA), the American Lutheran Church (ALC) and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches (AELC), all of which had formally agreed in 1982 to unite after several years of discussions. |

| | The Free Evangelical-Lutheran Synod in South Africa |
| | Lutheran churches, including the FELSISA, are creedal churches. | | | At the same time, Lutherans believe that God has instituted the office of pastor for the preaching of the Gospel and the administration of the sacraments on behalf of and with accountability to the church. | | | Seeking to be faithful to what the Scriptures teach about both the unity of the church and unity in the church, the Lutheran Confessions hold that the way to achieve external unity in the church is to confess the truth and to expose error. |

| | What is the WELS? |
| | Originally the name "evangelical" was used to designate the differences between churches loyal to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in contrast to the philosophical movement of rationalism, on the one hand, and legalistic Christianity, on the other. | | | The title "Lutheran" defines us as a group of Christians who recognize the teachings which came out of the 16th century Lutheran Reformation as the true and faithful teachings of the Bible. | | | In the course of American Lutheranism, groups of churches often came to be known by the state in which they lived. |

| | Questions concerning the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod' |
| | Under ecumenicity of the evangelical proclamation I understand this that one nourishes the appreciation for the one true invisible Church, the communion of those who trust in the Lord Jesus, as against the political machinations of the different concrete church groups of this world that claim they are the one true visible church. | | | On account of the Lutheran emphasis on justification and faith it is natural in our midst that exposition of doctrine takes pre-eminence for the sake of the heralding of the gospel; whereas the Reformed put their main effort into the development of the external life in church government and social welfare. | | | Church Fellowship can be defined as the status in which individuals or groups on the basis of a common confession of faith have mutually recognized one another as Christian brethren and now consider it God-pleasing to express, manifest, and demonstrate their common faith jointly. |
