😎 My Experience at Lutheran Churches (ELCA, LCMS, and WELS)
ELCA. Missouri Synod. WELS. What's the difference between the multiple Lutheran "sub"-denominations in North America? After breaking away from his lifelong Lutheran church, David Boice (author of 52 Churches in 52 Weeks) spent one year as an intentional church-hopper to see how he'd be welcomed at a new church each week. David talks about the differences he experienced between the more conservative Lutheran churches (Missouri Synod and WELS) versus what he learned at more progressive Lutheran Churches (ELCA), especially with what he observed at one ELCA church in Denver that featured chocolate fountain baptismal fonts and blessings over bicycles. Turns out, not all Lutheran churches are the same. --------------------------- ▶️ Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro: Not All Lutheran Churches are the Same 5:21 - Disclaimer from a Different Angle 7:10 - Similarities in Lutheran Churches 10:39 - Differences and Lutheran "Sub-Denominations" 14:47 - Experiences at Missouri Synod and WELS 19:58 - Experiences at ELCA 25:34 - Final Thoughts --------------------------- 📚 52 Churches in 52 Weeks by David Boice on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YctG4Q --------------------------- ✝️ David's Faith Story: • ⛪ 52 Churches in 52 Weeks | My Faith Story --------------------------- 🇩🇪 Lutheran History and the Protestant Reformation: • 🔨 Lutheran History and the Protestant Refo... #52churchesin52weeks #davidboice #lutheran
