In 2013 the ELCL reported having 20,000 active members〔(The Lutheran World Federation – 2013 Membership Figures ) Lutheran World〕 , 52 congregations, and 15 pastors. The current Bishop ((リトアニア語:Vyskupas)) of the church is the Rt Revd Mindaugas Sabutis.〔See the bishop's (biography page ) on the church's official website.〕 Around 0.56% of the population of Lithuania are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Lithuania.〔Census 2001: (Population by Religious Confession )〕 The abbreviated name for the church is in Latin, Unitas Lithuaniae or in Polish, Jednota Litewska (Lithuanian church provincial union). ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lithuania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
