The largest Lutheran Church body in the US, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the church of Rome signed a “Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification” some years back.

Although the ELCA isn't a Lutheran Church and the LCMS rejected the Joint Declaration with Rome. This thread is about the LCMS.

Thanks for the info; I did not understand the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America was not Lutheran. I also missed in the article anything about churches in Missouri; rather, the author refers to a Lutheran communion.

Thanks again for your insight.
