“So, I’m using the term “Evangelicals” for all the Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Fundamentalist and Baptist groupings and sub-groupings. This term, in America does not include Lutherans or Anglicans or main-stream Methodists or Mennonites.”
“The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is a mainline Protestant denomination headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The ELCA officially came into existence on January 1, 1988, by the merging of three churches and currently has about 4,633,887 baptized members. It is the seventh-largest religious body and the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States.”

good catch and I should have remembered that, but would you call the ELCA “Evangelicals”. I use the term as the middle ground between the theological liberalism of the mainline denominations and the cultural separatism of fundamentalism.
