Im LCMS myself. Actually there are quite a few from the LCMS and WELS that post here, u see them at times on the religion threads. Good to know you are a fellow conservative lutheran (with a german name like that I should have guessed!)

I've often lamented the '61 split between WELS and LCMS.

I figured that as a church body, we have around half a million--not a big number--and that I could possibly be the only WELS on FR, seeing as how LCMS and ELCA put together number in the millions! The self-proclaimed Champion of Circumstance, Jo Nuvark, was the first FReeper, in almost three years of posting, that has recognized my references to WELS/ELS.

I don't like the term "conservative" applied to the Church. Such a term is really more politically oriented than doctrinally focused. We are confessional evangelical Lutherans; heirs to the Reformation.
