So WHAT is LCMS, please.
Lutheran
Church
Missouri
Synod.
No affiliation or fellowship with the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ELCA.
I was nasty to you and I apologize for my poor explanation of communion in the LCMS. The difference is we don't believe the bread/wine are physically changed as Catholics do, but that the body and blood of Christ ARE present in, not symbolized by, the bread/wine. Perhaps the freeper I pinged can be more helpful with the explanation. I regret my snippiness,it has no place in a thread on this subject.
