Talk:Evangelical Lutheran Church

Untitled
The ELC has its origins in Europe and there are branches in a couple of West-European counties (Germany, the Netherlands, the Scandinavian countries). This article should be global in scope. &mdash; mark &#9998; 16:56, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

I removed the worldwide view because this is about a specific lutheran group in the US not the overall worldwide lutheran church. perhaps it should be retitled EVangelical Lutheran Church (US denomination) or something like that Smith03 19:10, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I moved the page to Evangelical Lutheran Church (United States) and made this page a disamb pageSmith03 19:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Definition
Is there no more to be said about the term "Evangelical Lutheran Church" than a mere listing of different national church bodies? Isn't this a term that deserves a definition?

Sorry to say this, but I find it very strange that this term has been turned into a disambiguation page.

Also, this disambiguation page raises a number of questions. Why has the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mecklenburg been turned into the "Evangelical Lutheran State Church of Mecklenburg"? And is this supposed to be a list of currently existing churches, or are we trying to list all Lutheran churches that ever existed? If the former, why are Mecklenburg and the North Elbian Church listed at all, both of them having merged into the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany? --217.239.3.110 (talk) 16:42, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
