  • I went to an LCMS church as a kid, it felt like one step down from Catholicism.

    For those who don’t know, there are two main branches of the Lutheran Church in the US.

    • Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (known as LCMS)

      • More Conservative views
      • Doctrine first mentality, believes Bible is without error
      • No Same Sex Marriage
      • No ordained women
      • Young Earth Creationism
      • Traditional Worship
    • Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (known as ELCA)

      • More Liberal views

      • Doesn’t believe scripture is 100% accurate , especially when it comes to history and science

      • Does allow for same sex marriage

      • Allows women and LGBT+ to be ordained

      • Does not fully endorse creationism

      • Contemporary Worship

    Also, I believe Tim Walz is a member of an ELCA church.
