Weekly Communion

Yah I've read some about the historical background and when we were in fellowship, but what I usually hear about MS is that some congregations are really liberal and others are like the wels, so i was curious to know what a MS member would say...

There are a number of what I call "rogue congregations" that tend to lean a little left, but they are not operating in line with the official teaching and practice of the synod. The synod was founded on a set of principles that many of us within the synod, and even some from outside the synod (although I don't agree with their tactics all that much) have been fighting to maintain. I would say that most congregations are within the teaching and practice of the synod. One of the biggest problems that I see within the LCMS is their failure to police their member congregations. Too many are allowed to function apart from synod guidelines.

Interesting! Thanks for the reply. Sort of sad with 'churches within the church' if that's how it is.
