There is some prejudice the other way, too. Mainly because of things like abortion and homosexuality even though there may be some very conservative churches. But I would also fault the some LCMS churches, too; I've heard of a couple living together unmarried but it doesn't get confronted. Usually something public like that should warrant excommunication.

Absolutely, you are totally correct but I wasn’t referring to anything like that. When we were young these things were not issues at all. There was no substantive reason for the prejudice—it was just there and I’m sure the LCMS church people felt the same way about the ALC people but they didn’t know why.
