Differences in LCMS, ELCA, WELS

Here's what the state church of Norway confesses today:

As you can see still no Book of Concord. Still just the three Creeds, Apostles (den apostoliske), Nicene (den nikenske) the Augsburg Confession (den augsburgske konfesjon) and the Small Catechism (Luthers lille katekisme).

This is not the Norwegian state church Den Norske Kirke . It is theEvangelical Lutheran Free Church of Norway. I searched the Norske Kirke's web site but the only thing I could find on confessions is this about the two churches working together:

It says:
" anerkjenner at begge våre kirker står sammen i bekjennelsen av den apostoliske tro slik den er gitt oss i Den hellige skrift og uttrykt i de oldkirkelige bekjennelser, Den augsburgske bekjennelse og Luthers lille katekisme, "

Also here no mentioning of the Formula of Concord.

That's funny, I went there by search engine and never thought to check that it was the state church. Thanks for the correction.

Marv,

Actually: What are Lutheran Brethren? Do they have their roots in pietism?

Thanks,

Are you even old enough to remember the SNL skit that that comes from?

Cheeboogie, cheeboogie, cheep, cheep, Peepsi, Peepsi...

No but I have some antique friends and they can teach me things sometimes

This is very interesting, I read on the homepage of the Norwegian state church that they in fact do not confess the Book of Concord. Interesting info, thanks guys!
Funny that the former Swedish state church holds on to the Book of Concord, eventhough they don't believe half of it. Oh well, none of my business, I have left those heretics long ago.

filosofer,

Does that mean you are more a Monte Python's Flying Circus type of guy?

Maybe you are in the Ministry of Silly Walks?

We must be quite though, since the Ministry of Silly Walks was intimately united forever through the Faulty Tower to the "Germans".

Basil's funny walk from The German's edition of Faulty Towers, about a minute.

Well, you are half way between our older son and our oldest grandchild.

When I was young, science only included only three main elements, fire was acknowledged during my school days. Or as my sig on Excel sites says:

Software: Office 2003 on XP/Office 2004 on Mac OS X
Humanware: older than dirt

That was a tricky math question... I really can't figure how old you are. But let me put it this way: Did you ever meet Jesus face to face yet??
