Worst thing is when you tell someone you are Lutheran and they think of ELCA

As an Estonian Lutheran, I feel proud of our brothers Latvians, God bless you all Latvian Brothers

I’m a christian from Sweden and the church of Sweden (Svenska Kyrkan) is very liberal. Some priests just say that it’s okay to not believe in God. Also the church is political and the citizens vote over what the church should teach and preach

I’m an LCMS Lutheran and I really enjoy that you mentioned us I have had to explain what a Lutheran is to so many of my friends and even who martyn Luther is. Thank you for these videos

I hail from Norway, and the Church of Norway (Den Norske Kirke) has sadly turned extremely liberal. Not just with gay marriages, but priests with no personal faith who are doing it just as a 9-5 job. As @Lyktestople0898 mentioned with the Church of Sweden, the Church of Norway is also politically lead. Normal citizens can vote who gets to sit at the top and legislate. This is dangerous, as we now have the situation where extremely liberal, and some not even Christian, people are deciding how to run a church and denomination. Reconquista needed in Scandinavia brothers and sisters. Pray for us.

As a young Swedish christian girl who was saved a year ago and raised in an atheist family its so so hard to practise my faith here in Sweden. All churches available to me are very secular and its very hard to find christian friends OUTSIDE of my cathcolic school (im protestant tho). I rlly dont know what to do because church is so important to me but I feel like my faith cant grown in church as it can for others BECAUSE of how liberal and non-bible following the churches are :( Edit: Tack för alla fina svar + rekommendationer! ❤️ Thank you for all your answers/recommendations!❤️

As a born and raised LCMS Lutheran, I can confidently say that I have never met a Nazi or even Nazi-adjacent LCMS menber in person. I think your experience is just that LCMS is bigger than WELS so there's more people living on the extremes.

Excellent video, I'm from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brazil, founded by LCMS missionaries in 1900. It's, I think, the biggest denomination in full fellowship with LCMS (pulpit and altar) outside USA. Great church too

As an LCMS member, while I disagree with your complaints about the LCMS, I totally agree with this tier list! May God continue to bless the Lutheran Church in Latvia and across the world!

As a Latvian Lutheran, I approve of this video :) God bless our Lutheran brothers and sisters in Christ and any Christian in general

I didnt grow up LCMS but I am now, I found their theology so sound, that when I was a different denomination, i came to believe like them and thought I was alone. My now wife showed me how similar we were and now am so glad to hear the gospel every week.

I just got home from my second week attending a WELS church in my area thanks to this channel. Great video!

Future priest in the church of Sweden here. I will begin my theology studies this autumn. I recognise a conservitive wind in my church and in the more conservative dioceses and congregations conservatism is growing. The problem with the church is that it is politically controlled and politicians are not required to have a faith, the only requirement really is that you are baptised in the church of Sweden. Right now and really since the church and the state separated in the year 2000, the left have dominated church elections which have made the church more secular. I hope to make some sort of reconquista movement when I start at the university!

I am soon to be baptized as a Latvian lutheran, made me very happy to see Latvia on the list, God bless!

I was so butt hurt when you put my beloved LCMS in a tier, but when I saw that the church of Latvia was in S tier, you brought it back around. Well done!

NALC Lutheran here. Your assessment of the denomination is correct. My home congregation is a bit more conservative than what is typical in the NALC. We split from one of the largest ELCA congregations in the state in 2010. We’ve grown considerably since then and are thriving thanks to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

I’m a WELS member. What is meant by no outside fellowship is we won’t pray alongside others in worship services. However, I cannot stress enough that only the really really strict ones practice this. Otherwise we will pray with others, it’s more a theological question than not. This is also why we have closed communion, it is a declaration of faith, particularly Lutheran in this case, so we don’t go with others for we don’t believe the same things.

I'm an LCMS lutheran, and my grandparents are WELS. I have been to the WELS church before, and besides not letting others have communion, they are pretty welcoming. And yes, my grandparents still pray with the rest of my family.

Here in Finland i fear that swedish theological liberalism will take over the finnish church. Pray for Finland and the nordics!

Very good video. Have really liked your tier list stuff.

Don't forget about the ELS. We're in fellowship with the WELS, just smaller and historically Norwegian. And we are pretty exclusive, but to clarify: we can still pray with others, and even do community work, but not in an official capacity. Like if we were to hold a food drive, we'd do it with the sister WELS/ELS church in the town over, not the pentecostal church down the street. Anyways, awesome video 👌

Thank you for helping to promote Lutheranism! God bless you, my Presbyterian brother in Christ.

Never expected my country to be in one of your videos lol

Awesome to see you included a picture of the interior of Richland Lutheran Church (LCMC in Richland, WA), the church I grew up in and was confirmed in! I’m currently attending an LCMS church and appreciate their historic liturgy and adherence to the Lutheran confessions.

Please pray for my girlfriend and me. God has started helping us but we need more help! 🙏🏻✝️

From Finland: The Church of Finland I would put in maybe C or D tier. It has women priests, and a ton of unbelieving / very arrogantly blasphemous pastors. But gay marriage is not _yet_ allowed (when it is it will be D or F tier for sure), and there are many conservative revivalist movements within it, which means that where ever you live, there is a good chance that you can find a conservative Lutheran community. But I am in a small conservative Lutheran church that split 25 years ago do to female pastors. Of course that goes against your reconquista ethos, but at the same time, I get to be in a lively close-knit community, which I have no shame inviting people into, and where I can raise my future children without fearing what will be said from the pulpit.

Regarding Lutherans, this is very insightful. I grew up in the SBC. Between high school and college and for many decades afterward I was a moderately good Calvinist. A few years ago I became a confessional Lutheran (LCMS). I told my pastor that the LCMS has the best message of any denomination that I know; it also does the worst job of proclaiming it of any denomination that I know. He was not pleased. The Based Lutheran video you included in your "Why be..." collection was exactly right: it's about affirming what God says, and about turning back to that truth.

The Church of Sweden is so rich in history and has sooo many beautiful churches, that Swedish believers should feel obligated to fight the corruption! 🇸🇪✝️

As a Lutheran from the german EDK I am sad to see the failure of our church to stay conservative. I am thinking about changing my denomination because of it :(

Much love and prayers from Slovakia

As someone from Slovakia, I can tell you that, while not very numerous, Lutherans, who mostly just refer to themselves as evangelicals, are very spread out, many small towns have their churches. In general, all of the protestant christian groups here work together. I was raised a baptist, learned from an evanjelical teacher, and the local baptist group my family visits holds service in a seventh-day adventist church building we have been borrowing for years. I have stopped going lately, as I have some issues with certain decisions within, but I still love it. If you ever want to talk with me about local Slovak affairs or theological differences and opinions, I would be happy to have a chat.

Hey Redeemed zoomer, great video. I was looking at your map of the Lutheran churches, and I strongly recommend you add Mount Olive Lutheran Church to the map. It's a great LCMS church in Loveland/ Campion Colorado( different websites list it differently for some reason), and there aren't a ton of options listed there.

After learning the Church History, especially in America, you begin to realize why the Inquisition came about. Too many pastors when they lack the understanding want to form their own denominations or uproot them.

I would love to see a methodist version of this. I know you touched on them in the historically black churches but personally as methodist who is in interested in theology I would be very interested in see that video.👍

Appreciate you calling out lcms members who are less than polite and pointing out that they don't represent the church as a whole. My experience has been very positive when learning about, conversing with and ultimately joining them. And it has with the reformed branch too. My spiritual elder and best bud who first pointed me towards Christ is a Presbyterian and hes excited that my family and i are becoming lcms because he loves talking theology and knows lcms in our area are theologically nerdy and firm in their position but also talkative. Im sorry some bad apples ruined the bunch in others experience. Guess i dont speak for all in my denom but our church families get along great in our area and there is much love between us

Cool! I’m really learning a lot from you😊 Edit- I’m actually the first person to comment😅

Rev. Chris Rosebrough of Fighting For The Faith/Pirate Christian Radio, one of the greatest forces on the Internet fighting against Word-of-Faith and The New Apostolic Reformation, is also AALC.

Hello Redeemed Zoomer it could be lovely if you did a video about Anglican sub-denominations tierlist!

Can you do an interview with ready to harvest channel host? Like to know more about him

Swedish Lutheran here! My grandpa used to be pastor in the Church in Sweden before it went totally downhill.

This was a very accurate portrayal of the different Lutheran denominations. One thing to know is that the LCMS and AALC are in communion with each other - we agree on the same doctrine, pastors can preach at each others churches, and we can receive the sacraments from each others churches. We are also in Communion with the Latvian Lutheran Church.

As a born, raised, and still LCMS Lutheran I really appreciate your assessment of the LCMS. I think your criticisms are fairly on point. Yes we have some extremely conservative Lutherans and individuals who are trying to use our denomination to smuggle in their fascist and antisemitic views in our synods worldview. Additionally, yes we are very isolationist when it comes to fellowship and evangelism efforts in the U.S. (internationally we’re quite social ironically). I will say that the closed/close communion stems from our understanding of communion so any adjustment there will be very gradual. Overall I enjoyed your assessment and appreciated the advocacy you have provided for our denomination in this video.

LCMS here. I love you and pray for you and I share your videos all the time. I'm alright with young earth as long as you aren't a strict Ken Hammist. That's just silly.

As an LCMS seminarian I can understand the unfriendliness. Thanks for the good word you put in for us!

Zoomer, Norwegian Catholic here. I am born and raised catholic and my observations on The Lutheran church in Norway are quite similar to yours in Sweden. Wondering if you have any thoughts on the Church of Norway. Love your videos and I saw and liked your talk with Pinesap. I also resonate with you being half Jewish Christian. God Bless You.

As a catholic, i hope all will convert to catholicism/eastern cath. But i have great love and respect to you my protestant brothers and sisters in Christ. Be strong! do not get discouraged

Would be interested in hearing how the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland compares to American Churches and especially other European ones. I think we are more conservative/orthodox than other Nordics at least? I do remember having plenty of women pastors in my childhood... other than that I got no clue

where would you put the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations- (AFLC) ON THIS LIST? Just curious as there are those congregations where i live and Apostolic Lutheran Church and Laestadian Lutheran Churches are also in my area. thanks

can you give me the ip to your minecraft server?

I couldn't find the Presbyterian denominations tier list mentioned at 00:48. Does anyone have a link to it?

Why do you prioritize traditionalism over isolationism (LCMS and WELS vs. LCMC)? I am curious. Christian unity is a big thing for me.

Hi, great video . Do you have a similar map for catholic church instead?

Yo, I’m in a first Presbyterian church rn, and it’s pretty nice. Missed mass and went looking for a church; found a Presbyterian church and it doesn’t look too modern, except for the projector

Thanks for doing this. I'm an LCMS pastor, can I get my church on your map?

Happy WELS member here. Hi!

As an LCMS member I'm sorry to hear that you've had that experience with LCMS members online.

In which tier would you place Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism?

hey @Redeemed Zoomer are you familiar with Evangelical Covenent Church (ECC). What are your thoughts on it? I'd great appreciate your insights. Try Wikipedia and the main website of the church for information and would like to hear your thoughts.

I thought that the Lutherans here in Slovakia are theologically liberal, also that they support women pastors and lgbt (I found that out from google). I'm so glad that it's not true.

As a swede do you recommend me going to the super liberal Church of Sweden or finding a more conservative (but not traditional) church?

Yooooo, WELS mentioned let's go Edit: A-tier let's go, as for the not praying with people, as a church we don't participate in worship with outside churches (besides ELS who we're in fellowship with). As individuals, I don't know anyone that won't study or pray with other Christians.

From what I've gathered, there is actually a substancial diffrence between the AALC and LCMS regarding church polity, as the former is episcopal and the latter is congregational (although with a central synod). Dr. Cooper has mentioned having a bishop several times, and I feel like the AALC is the better option in this aspect as the Lutheran reformation really did strive to maintain the episcopate and apostolic succession in continental Europe

I go to an LCMS church. You’re spot on.

The AALC is in full altar and pulpit fellowship with the LCMS and my denomination Lutheran Church-Canada. It is a bit odd that they haven't merged though. Heck here in Canada there are some LCMS English District congregations that still haven't joined the LCC. This is seen as fine because Lutherans care more about theological unity than institutional unity.

A couple of things: 1) No mention of the LCC (Lutheran Church of Canada)? My understanding is that they are pretty conservative. 2) Didn’t the LCMS also begin to drift liberal and then reverse course? That’s why the WELS removed their altar fellowship status originally, I believe. So that could be considered another example of a reconquista

I was baptized as a Lutheran, LCMS. My step-father comes from the Dutch Reformed Church, my mother was also Lutheran, my biological father was raised Catholic but turned away from the church he was saved and came back to the church and became a Southern Baptist. Now where would such a diverse family of Christians go to church, I hear you ask? As Presbyterians of course! And to add to that, the majority of my friend group is various flavors of just about every sort of protestant you could think of, Catholic, and even east Orthodox! I couldn't imagine having not having fellowship with anyone but my own denomination!

Catholic here, I love learning about other denominations. This was well put!

I am excited

I like that you mentioned the swedish church even tho it is very corrupt. But it is my country that i love so nice!

Could you maybe do a Baptist denomination tier list? Also i think it's kind of funny that the Baptists ate called Baptists, when they're like the only denomination that DOESN'T baptize babies

There are actually two conservative factions inside the Church of Sweden. The first one is just a few conservative priests who are like your average right-wing american pastor and then they have some ultranationalist priests. One of them even candidated for the far-right Alternative for Sweden party in his municipality. There was a third conservative faction but they broke off and founded their own Church which I believe is called "The Mission Province". Also, the "Saint Sigfrids Church" on your Historic Churches map is not an actual Luthern church, it is just the building itself that is called Saint Sigfrids Church. It's is now a Russian Orthodox Church called Saint Sergius Russian Orthodox Congregation.

Zoomer brother, when you mentioned Slovakian lutheran church , the picture of the church in the upper middle is a catholic church in the village of Mosovce, Slovakia. Church of saint Trinity if i remember corectly.I am from that village so i know ,I'm also catholic by the way. But we also have a lutheran church and our village is majority lutheran. God Bless!

I'm Slovak and recently I've become more interested in religion, I'm looking into quran atm but I'm just beginning there. Kudos to you for doing this content!

Hi Redeemed Zoomer, excellent video. I want to tell you that you should probably remove the Lutheran church in Opatija from your map since it is closed due to a legal dispute and will not open anytime soon.

Still watching this video, but I wanted to correct something at 4:24 where you talk about closed communion. There's sometimes a little bit of a gray area about whether one must believe all the doctrines of LCMS Lutheranism (no more, no less) in order to commune at an LCMS church, or whether it's enough to be Biblically conservative and believe Lutheran Eucharistic theology. For instance, LCMS pastors are virtually unanimous (in my experience) in being willing to commune members of other conservative Lutheran denominations such as WELS. I don't know as much about WELS, but I would think that they're broadly willing to pray (and probably commune) with conservative LCMS Lutherans as well. Some of this comes down to the fact that for laypeople, membership in LCMS vs. WELS congregations often comes down to geography: If you're a confessional Lutheran and move to a town with only one or the other, you'll typically go to that one regardless of which one you were confirmed in (with the encouragement of your previous pastor!) As for online representation, I think the "based subculture" of Zoomer conservatism is a thing that transcends denominational lines (and even religious lines--see the state of politically right-wing social media right now). If you want to get a more mainstream picture of LCMS Lutheranism, I suggest you check out the Facebook page called "Confessional Lutheran Fellowship." (Yes, it is a fellowship for all confessional Lutherans, including not only the LCMS but also WELS, ELS, and of course non-US-based Lutheran churches, but they tend to welcome good-faith question-asking as long as you aren't trying to be argumentative or "beat" them in a debate.)

Redeemed Zoomer did you also cover the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Scandiania in the video The Church of Norway, The Church of Denmark? I am Evangelical Lutheran from Denmark did you cover us?

I know there is definitely a movement in Gen Z that is craving the traditional, but I would strongly avoid dismissing it as a fad: tis no bad thing to encourage people seeking absolute Truth in Jesus that has persisted through all ages, especially in times so crazy as the present

As a Swedish Catholic I agree the Church of Sweden is truly awful. Some of our priests don't even believe in hell 😭

@14:53 "Why can't (Christians) affirm LGBTQ persons ... and get with the times? Well, because it's a litmus test" Exactly. You hit the nail on the head. I don't understand why most people can't see that... Sometimes I feel like Cassandra - from the Greek myth - pointing out why affirming LGBTQ people is a slippery slope which will one day lead to abandoning Biblical theology altogether, only to have most fellow congregants (who are generally good, nice Christians who want to get along) just poo-poo you as a judgmental, prude. IDK

I am a member of an LCMS church and am going to give my reactions as I watch. A: LCMS: Sweet, you like us. The thing about people online being mean...fair. We are the most aggressive in defending sound doctrine and can be kind of grumpy about it. Directness and abrasiveness are part of our heritage (Germans are known for it; people from St. Louis, Chicago, and that whole area of the Midwest are known for it). That is massively amplified on line, as anything bad tends to be. It's just our culture, so I hope you didn't take it personally. You didn't have any doctrine issues with us, though, which is cool. WELS: You are correct about everything. I was a member at a WELS church for a couple years (the LCMS church in my college town sucked), so they are exceptionally friendly, but guard themselves very tightly spiritually to where members are discouraged (not forbidden) from even praying with people of other denominations, which I thought was weird until I prayed with some people in an interdenominational thing on campus and they prayed some stuff I wasn't okay with signing my name on, so maybe WELS kind of has a point in using this as a defense against praying with the liberals for blessing Pride events and stuff. I think they go a bit overboard with it, but I see their point. LCMS & WELS: Neither let's people who aren't members or members of affiliates Commune with us. We believe that the bread, via miracle, is the body of Christ and bread simultaneously. If you understand what we believe and don't believe it, why would you want to Commune with us, anyway? We're clearly crazy to think something can simultaneously be bread, man, and God. Slovaks: I don't know a thing about them, but you've treated LCMS and WELS fairly, so I'll take your word for it that they're pretty good. B: AALC: I agree with you about these guys. Cooper is a good representative and, for a bit, I was assuming he was LCMS because he seems like an LCMS guy, though a little less grumpy...maybe that's the difference. The AALC is people who would be LCMS but just weren't grumpy enough to make the cut. I know there have been a couple disagreements between the LCMS and AALC, but nothing big enough to justify them being separate denominations as far as I know. NALC: The still ordain women, which is directly contrary to Scripture, but you still put them as B? That’s the first point I’ll strongly disagree with you on. On the matter of splitting, I think you’re right to a degree and I think your denomination may be saved by people like you. I think the ELCA is too far gone and that any real Christian in the ELCA needs to abandon ship. They aren’t a Christian denomination anymore. There may be good congregations or individuals hanging on, but the ELCA, as a whole, has turned its back on God and hardened its heart Pharaoh style. C: LCMC: I don’t know them, but will say Lutherans always suck at contemporary worship style D: ELCA: I think I covered this in the NALC section. I’d put them as F, but I won’t quibble D vs. F. I do have to thank you, though, for telling me about SOLA. Perhaps the ELCA isn’t quite the lost cause I thought it was. I’ll have to check out their website and see and possibly revise my opinions on it IF they want to abandon enough of the false doctrine that I think the movement is valuable. F Church of Sweden: I forgot that they claim to be Lutheran. I say “claim” because we have confessions. It’s one confession, actually; the Augsburg Confession, which says what we are and these guys ain’t it. S Latvians: I don’t know much, but I’ve vaguely heard very good things. Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it and think it was a very fair treatment of us and our apostate sisters. And to learn about Lutheranism, I agree that Cooper has the best videos out there these days. Christ's peace be with you.

If you do an Anglican tier list, I recimmend adding CONNAM (Church of Nigeria North American Mission), since that mission done by the Church of Nigeria has a presence in the US, and the Church of Nigeria is historic. I plan on getting confirmed into there due to GAFCON. The Reformed Episcopal Church is historic-ish, but niwhere near me. Abd the TEC? Yeah, no. I am not driving all the way to the northern Indiana border for an Episcopalian church in the Reconquista.

His comments on my (LCMS) denomination is a reminder for everyone that having charity in your ecumenical discussions is not only important for your denominations reputation but its also what Christ asks of you. Love thy neighbor and thy enemies. Dont let your zeal for right doctrine be a millstone for your neck. If you use personal attacks or cruel language in your defense of the faith then you have betrayed it.

everything you said about the church of sweden resonates with me in finland aswell. I can't even think of a single person i have ever met who has expressed some kind of belief in god(apart from migrants and immediate circles), even during visits to the church, confirmation etc. And most people as a result of being brought up entirely atheist most people also celebrate liberalization of the church.

Awesome video. There's hope for worldwide Protestantism.

A WELS member, lay minister, and soon councilman. While yes, official statements of our branch warn of participating in worship with other sects, from my experience this isn't something super enforced. We don't have spies watching to see if you pray with a Calvinist haha. As you know, the WELS uphold strictness in doctrine in order to combat liberal theology. As consequence, you come to two extremes. You can be too light like the ELCA saying it's okay for everyone to have different beliefs, or you can be too strict and say praying with other sects subconsciously invites a sense of full fellowship and unity. While I don't necessarily agree with the degree it is often taken, I'd rather stand with the extreme which cares about unity of doctrine. As result of our Synod's strong emphasis on unity, every single pastor of our churches is taught, believes, and preaches the exact same doctrines to a T. While the LCMS may allow slightly different interpretations here and there, the WELS is as confessional as confessional can get. People give the WELS and WELS members a bad rep. I've been WELS my entire life and have never encountered such "horror stories". I reckon it may be individuals who are offended by our Synod's strictness. But I could be wrong.

Please add other churches on the map. I would like to find orthodox/Armenian churches in other countries because i myself follow Armenian Apostolic Church which is Oriental Orthodox. Thank you and God bless you

17:45 What do you mean "speaking like a Presbyterian" ? The Church of Scotland is a state church and is the origin point/mother church for Presbyterian churches.

Good Info on various theological denominations in Lutheran. I am a Christian and I have One concern that bothers me in Christianity. When I see the falling apart world 🌍 where in countries like mine, where there is always a reason for persecution why can't these denominations come together and pray by putting their differences. For all the denominations the basic command of love your God with all you heart and love your neighbour is the same which should be followed throughout the world.

I drive 45 minutes to go to an LCMS church and it's worth it!

My local lcmc church actually does both traditional services and contemporary services

You missed out in ELDONA - Evangelical Lutheran Diocese of North America. It's defo S tier very fundamental in its teachings of the Bible and administering of the Sacrament.

I’m Swedish and don’t go in the State Church but one near my school has a red dragon with really sus horns as the mascot for their child ministry, they also hung up massive pride flags inside the church and also preached about Harry Potter once. So after school I went there and wrote out Deuteronomy 18:20 with prayer pebbles at the altar. Basically sent a divine death threat to the female priest who runs that place. Best thing I ever did lol.

Reformed tier list?

I just got back from my trip to Riga and I get this video recommended, nice. In the Riga Old Town you can't walk 5 minutes without seeing an amazingly beautiful church. It's great! In the Old Town alone you have the Riga Cathedral, St. Peter's, St. John's, Reformation Church, St.Jacob's Cathedral, St.Mary Magdalene, St.Saviour's Anglican, Our Lady of Sorrows. All in an area less than 1/4 of New York's Central Park. There are more than 8 churchers per square mile in the Riga Old Town 😂

I am a Slovak Lutheran from Serbia, although I would still consider myself pretty lukewarm... I hope that in time I will turn to God properly 😁

Hi redeemed zoomer, Please let me know if I’m doomed, recently I’ve been reading the Bible more and more and I read that the unforgivable sin is saying evil words against the Holy Spirit (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit) but long ago I was listening to a song and it had words that are against the Holy Spirit and I was so dumb and so stupid that I sand that one line out of my mouth but remember this was before I knew that if you want more details on the line let me know cause I really don’t wanna spend eternity without Christ 😢😔❤️✝️ And i currently feel away from god when I want to be closer to god and I feel like he ain’t listening to my prayers

The LCMS was drifting into liberalism. However, we were lucky and a conservative Lutheran took over Concordia Publishing House and removed all the theological liberalism. Along with that was some key changes in upper management in the church structure. Recently Pastors and Church members of LCMS are actively fighting some internal battles with a few liberalized schools and practices. If you are apart of this denomination, please keep your eyes out for heresy. Sadly we are in the process of rooting out internal theological subversion.

1:40 Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) [A] 4:49 Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) [A] 6:51 Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Slovakia (the only Lutheran church in Slovakia) [A] 8:48 American Association of Lutheran Churches (AALC) [B] 10:04 North American Lutheran Church (NALC) [B] 12:14 Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC) [C] 14:23 Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) [D] 17:13 Church of Sweden [F] 19:11 Evangelical Lutheran Church of Latvia [S]

I'm from Sweden and I have to agree. Our church is extremely corrupted by fleshly desire and wishful thinking and it's so frustrating. I honestly don't know where to turn to to worship God at this point because every church I've gone to has massive issues.

I wasn't expecting a church from my hometown to be on the thumbnail.😂 (Modra, Slovakia)...I'm catholic though...
