I am one of those 77 million who share this same Lutheran faith. Lutheranism is a form of Christianity, but it also follows the teachings of Martin Luther from the 1500s (What is Lutheranism?). While being a member of the Lutheran church, a baptism will take place, most commonly happening when someone is a baby, once the person is around middle school age then confirmation will begin. Confirmation is restating the baptismal vows that were not able to be said because of how young someone is when they get baptized. Some things make an individual church unique. For me, attending church and being a member of the Lutheran community has been impactful because it can follow me into my day-to-day life. Every Sunday when I was little would always consist of my family going to Sunday school and then church right after. However, the younger someone is, the more likely it is that they are not paying attention to what the Pastor is saying up front during his sermon. I would color and write notes to my mom and she would scribble down an answer to my question while he was talking about whatever the gospel reading was about for that week. When there is a child who does not pay attention in church, the real learning is during the Sunday school lessons. They would have a story lined up that we would most likely be able to relate to our daily lives, and they would teach us about how we could live our lives in the way Jesus would want us to, this story is mostly talked about in the sermon at the church services. In my church, the guests will be greeted by people, those they may know and those they do not. I think everybody is super friendly with each other and that is what makes church so enjoyable to me—the feeling of a community around. Once greeted at the front door, I will go ahead and walk

Though it is a good thing for people belonging to one culture to meet with each other, at the same time, it marginalizes them from knowing, building relationships with people who come from other ethnic backgrounds, It is probably not too healthy, especially for a church to be so reserved to one’s tiny circle of culture or language. How would one live out to be the church if one was not a diverse body of persons, because a church is that Body of Christ, that consists of diverse persons. This echoes Dr. Fowler’s words that “the Church is not fundamentally an institution; it’s the Body of

The Protestant Reformation, occurring between years 1517 to 1648, challenged the Roman Catholic Church’s authority and practices. The most well known practice of the church was the selling of indulgences, a payment taken in order for sins to be forgiven and lessen the time spent in purgatory. The church was corrupt and it didn’t go unnoticed. An Augustinian monk named Martin Luther was appalled.

Theodore W. Anderson merged other denominational churches into the ECC in the post-WWII era, which greatly expanded the cultural diversity of the church during the 1960s. This shift away from “isolation’ provided a more dynamic and integrated evangelical community in the ECC for Americans of all differing ethnic backgrounds. This form of foundation dispensational ideology marked a major transition in the Church during the mid-20th century. This new trends in the merger of differing denominational backgrounds into the ECC provided platform for greater racial diversity in the evangelical style of Lutheranism in the late 20th century. In the 1970s and 1980s, the growth of women’s conferences and the inclusion of African-Americans and Hispanic believers into the ECC provided an important and positive development that shifted away from the primarily Swedish ethnic foundations of the church.

Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.
