We thought that the following things might be helpful to understand.
This page is produced by members of an American Lutheran church body call the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. There are other church bodies and while we share the same history and much of the same beliefs, there are times that we differ. Where there are differences, we have done our best to explain those.
This page is not endorsed by any church body. Again we are writing as members of an American Lutheran church body, but we are not that body itself. There are times when even members of our own church body will disagree with us on some minor points. That’s ok.
