Lutheran Church in Great Britain
The Lutheran Church in Great Britain (LCiGB) is a small Lutheran denomination in the United Kingdom. The LCiGB is a member church of the Lutheran World Federation and of the Lutheran Council of Great Britain, the umbrella organization for Lutheran churches in Britain, many of which are missions of national Lutheran churches in the Nordic countries, Germany, and the Baltics. The LCiGB is also a member of the Porvoo Communion of Anglican and Lutheran churches in Europe. It is, in common with many Lutheran Churches,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LWF AFFIRMS HISTORIC STATEMENT ON EPISCOPAL MINISTRY )〕 led by a Bishop and a Council elected at its Annual Synod. The Right Revd Dr Martin Lind, former Bishop of the Diocese of Linköping in the Church of Sweden, was received as the third Bishop of LCiGB on 11 January 2014.
==History==
Lutherans have lived in Great Britain since the English Reformation, originally as foreign merchants. The first officially sanctioned Lutheran congregation received a Royal Charter in 1672 from Charles II. The charter gave this mostly German congregation the site of the former church of Holy Trinity the Less in the City of London which was destroyed in 1666 in the Great Fire of London. The foundation stone of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church was laid on 21 November 1672 and the completed building was dedicated one year later on Advent Sunday 1673. The church was usually known as the Hamburg Lutheran Church because many of its original members were sea merchants associated with the Hanseatic League from Hamburg, Germany. The church survived until 1871 when it was demolished to make way for the Mansion House underground station. The congregation then moved to Dalston which at the time had a large German immigrant community. It remained there until it closed in 1969 and merged with other congregations of the German-speaking Protestant Synod of Great Britain (''Die Evangelische Synode Deutscher Sprache in Großbritannien''), an overseas mission of the Evangelical Church of Germany.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ev-synode.org.uk/ )〕
All Lutheran congregations in Britain were originally ethnic churches that worshipped in various national languages and most that remain still function on ethnic-linguistic lines. These churches relate to one another through The Lutheran Council of Great Britain. The LCiGB was founded as the English-speaking United Lutheran Synod in April 1961 by four congregations in London, High Wycombe, Corby, and Hothorpe Hall. These congregations were founded by European immigrants, but now worshipped in English. In 1978, it changed its name to the Lutheran Church in Great Britain - United Synod. In 1988, the words 'United Synod' were dropped from its name. From 1961-2000, the LCiGB was led by a Dean. In 2000, it adopted an episcopal polity when the Right Revd Walter Jagucki was consecrated as the first Bishop. In 2013, the LCiGB was accepted by the Presiding Bishops of the Porvoo Communion for full membership, and it was admitted into the Communion when Bishop Martin Lind signed the Porvoo Declaration in September 2014.
