CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The LCMS is in Canada but only as "English District" congregations.
Lutheran Church Canada is in fellowship with the LCMS, but it is autonomous. While still officially "congregationalist" our polity is quite different.

This all dates back to some synodical history I am a bit foggy on. There was an English synod that seems to have originated within the Tennessee Synod in the mid 1800s. Also an English contingent within Ohio Synod that later became part of the first ALC. It's interesting to me because I live in Ohio and there are still a fair number of parishes around incorporating 'first English' into their name.

You are correct, a District without geographic borders defined by language; I believe that the "Slovak Synod" was similar in that it was language based rather than geographic in nature.
We have one very close to where I am, Grace Mitchell. Their Pastor is LCC. I did a little research and it seems there are 12 ED congregations in Canada; all in Ontario. Churches | The English District - LCMS
