ELCA Lutheran since 1988. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America didn't exist before then. The church I was baptized in was an American Lutheran Church. However with issues currently in the church, there may not be an ELCA in the next couple of years.
However being a pan-Lutheran person, I could share a hot dish and a jello salad with ISUKappa
Edited after phonecall to mom for clarification. We didn't change our church constitution from Norwegian until the 50's. The Lutherans two blocks away still worship in German, and there is a congregation in the East Bay that worships in Finnish.

Baptized Catholic, but currently attending an Anglican church. I haven't officially been received/converted yet. I guess I'm "religiously confused".

Ordained Elder in the Presbyterian Church, USA.
(Although I often wonder if they think they made a mistake.)

Oh you crazy liberal ELCA Lutherans. Every good LCMS Lutheran (that doesn't live in Minnesota) knows it's a casserole!  But I'm totally with you on the jello salad!

That's it!!! I am sending my t-shirt proof of "Top Ten Lutheran Disasters" (once we get the funding from Thrivent) to you and sageofages, as you'll both understand that: showing up late for Church and having to sit up front, running out of coffee, having your masking tape name disappear off your casserole dish, and having to sing by ear since the organist is ill are SERIOUS Lutheran disasters that transcend ELCA, LCMS, and WELS lines. All proceeds are going to Lutheran World Relief.

Remember Are you there, God? It's Me, Margaret?
I'm nothing.
I don't regret growing up without a religious foundation. Luckily, the dude is in the same position.

Raised Catholic, but never baptized. Married into a Catholic family. Maybe I'll get myself baptized someday, but it's a lot harder to do as an adult!

Baptized Roman Catholic, not a practicing one. Considering I can no longer receive Communion because I am also a Freemason, I'll be just as happy to walk over to the Episcopal Church.

Baptised Methodist (family thing), have gone to an Episcopal Church since I can remember and was confirmed Episcopalian at 16.
