Evangelical Lutheran Church of England
Specification
Details
Description
We are ‘evangelical’ because we believe, teach and preach the ‘Good News’ of salvation through faith alone in Jesus Christ. We are called ‘Lutheran’ in memory of Dr. Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, who lived in Germany from 1483-1546. Though there are now ELCE congregations in England, Scotland and Wales – our official name includes ‘Church of England’ because it is in London that our Synod had its first beginnings in 1896.
Description
As a Church Body, the ELCE is not an ecclesiastical government exercising legislative or coercive powers. The ELCE carries out powers and responsibilities determined by its member congregations, as set by their delegates at annual synodical conventions.
Description
As a centre of theological studies, Westfield House seeks to serve the Lutheran Church, both in the UK and overseas, by offering degree programmes, study-abroad opportunities, and continuing education within the framework of a confessional Lutheran perspective.
