Of course, I could be wrong about that too.)

O'Connor Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/wordpress/archives/1933#comment-3034 What the pastor was talking about, was what the RCC and the ELCA did a few years back. And that was they signed some thing that basicly stated the disagrements on salvation. Also remember the ELCA does not represent all Lutherans, I am a Lutheran, but I will not commune at a ELCA church, I am a member of a more conservative synod, and there are some major fundimatal diffences between the two, I am a member of the LCMS. http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/1931#comment-3035 Steve Nicoloso Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/wordpress/archives/1933#comment-3035 The ELCA has I think reached an agreement for common communion with the ECUSA in the past year or two. To the particularly untrained eye, the 'Piscopalians might appear to be Catholic. I think in fact that the less Protestant and more orthodox among them (an unfortunately rare breed) tend to call themselves "English Catholics", which may increase the confusion among translators. In fact, the ECUSA (at least our parish here) has open communion. The only requirement is that one simply be baptized (presumably by trinitarian formula, tho' I wouldn't stake my life on it).<br /><br />Cheers!
