Question

[Bulldog]

How do the Lutherans view taking holy communion with another Lutheran denomonation?

Is it condemned for a Missouri-Synod Lutheran to take Communion at a ELCA congregation?

[ChiRho]

It is inappropriate for an LCMS member to receive Holy Communion at an ELCA church.

See the ELCA/Missouri Synod differences thread. The LCMS position is posted with much clarity.

Yeah what ChiRho said. We generally Commune with those we are in doctrinal fellowship with. For example, I would only Commune at a WELS or ELS table, because they are in agreement together. Do I think others are any less Christian? Heck no!

i see-thanks for the responses.

I find this interesting, I am a Moravian and we are in full communion with the ECLA, yet we have open communion i.e. anyone of any denomination that is a Christian can partake.
