The Fellowship of Evangelical Lutheran Laity and Pastors -
FELLP
Below is a statement of faith written by a group called the Fellowship of Evangelical Lutheran Laity and Pastors (FELLP). It was written in 1983, a time when a number of Lutheran denominations were preparing and organizing together to form a new denomination, what we know today to be the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. In the statement they share their "theological concerns with regard to the New Lutheran Church."
It is amazing to read how many of the concerns FELLP expressed are the same issues that have taken hold in the ELCA.
