This comes in at about an 8 on the ecumenicity meter... not too shabby...

It really is rather impressive... though disappointing in some ways. I mean, you pretty much have every single belief system professed by any given protestant denomination contained in these denominations.  |

But is being "in communion" really a big deal when you already have "open communion"?

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

That article reads like a list of all the popular vapid sentiments people are supposed to adopt in order to be accepted in modern society.

Perhaps this is their way of adding "...not that there's anything wrong with that?" |

I mean, you pretty much have every single belief system professed by any given protestant denomination contained in these denominations. ...as opposed the the great range of things that American Roman Catholics actually believe? A great deal of theological work went into this, especially on the subject of eucharistic and sacramental theory. So far the only other group for which this has happened is the Moravians; there has been some work done with the Methodists, but my sense is that it's going to be a waste of time as the Methodists have a completely different picture of the episcopacy and tend to take a lowish theory of communion. BTW the local Lutherans joined us for the Easter vigil this year. |

Does anyone know if their is a movement of conservative Lutherans (Out of ELCA I suppose) who are seeking to "realign" themselves as the Anglicans have recently done?

^Robb, there are several organizations that have popped up in the last few years mainly for ex-ELCA Lutherans who wanted to get away from the homosexuality debates which have ensnared the ELCA over the years. One of those organizations (the biggest) is the Lutheran Congregations in Mission in Christ ( http://www.lcmc.net/). However, these are not really "conservative" Lutherans. They still ordain women and their ecclesiology and theology would make a lot of Lutherans cringe. They won't join the LCMS because they believe (and not entirely unjustly) that the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod is too much like fundamentalism. |
