If you are wondering why I have such an opinion on this? No good reason. I just like this kind of stuff and I'm being nosey.

There are LCMS congregations in Canada?
Yes. There are a number of congregations from the English (12) and SELC (4) districts in Canada.
Thank you. I didn't know that. BTW, I understand there's a resolution for the convention next year to eliminate both of those districts and to fold the congregations into the geographical district in which they live. If that passes, these 16 congregations would become part of the LCC.
Ever heard Lutherans even try to say that word? They can't agree. Is it "sin-ODD" Or "sigh-NARD" Then ask 'em what it means. I doubt too many know. Maybe it's not a good word to use as the name of our body for the world's identification - if even we don't know what it is. Or even how to say it
I still like "Western Evangelical Church of the Unaltered Augsburg Confessions." WECUAC - We Quack!
I guess if those districts really feel they need to be distinct and different then it would be inappropriate for them to walk together with us. I can see why the SELC would want to remain separate for historical reasons, but the English District's purpose has outlived itself and is not necessary anymore. It seems that it may only exist to cause division.I don't know about the English District's agreement with the LCMS, but if that motion passes, it will not effect the SELC District. As per the merger agreement with the LCMS the SELC is to stay intact. If the dissolution of the SELC were attempted by the LCMS, the SELC would likely dissolve the merger agreement and become an independant church body. My assumption is that the English District would do the same.

I don't know where he heard this from but from all my sources I havn't heard and inkling of a name change. As someone else on here posted it should not be the LCMS but the E*CA that should drop the word Lutheran..
My pastor told us that there are some proposing that the LCMS change it's name. Evidently, this has happened twice before, the last time about a century ago when the current name was embraced.

That's the Blue Ribbon Task Force Synod Structure and Governance. A way for Kieshnick to grab more power.
With Jesus First and Daystar behind him he is still in contention.That's assuming he gets re-elected.
