Lutheran Church—Canada : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lutheran Church–Canada
Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) is a confessional Lutheran denomination in Canada. It is the second largest Lutheran body in Canada after the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC). LCC was founded in 1988 when Canadian congregations of the St. Louis-based Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) formed an autonomous church body with a synodical office in Winnipeg, Manitoba.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lutheran ChurchCanada +++ What is Lutheran ChurchCanada? )〕 LCC has no substantial theological divisions from LCMS and continues to have cooperative and sharing arrangements. == History == Lutheranism in Canada dates back to Danish explorers in 1619 and German settlers in Nova Scotia in 1749, the latter encouraged to populate the territory by George II of Great Britain; a first church was raised in Halifax in 1752.〔http://www.wlsessays.net/files/HeigesLutheranismCanada.pdf〕 As Canadian settlement spread west, Ontarian congregations followed in the late 1700s, Manitoban ones in the 1800s, and Albertan ones in the early 1900s. For two centuries Lutheran churches in Canada tended to be organized under shifting arrangements of sponsorship from various American synods and conferences until coalescing into LCMS in 1958 and ELCIC in 1967, and from 1958 to 1988 LCC existed as a federated group under the LCMS umbrella.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lutherans )〕 Following its independent establishment in January 1988, LCC created three districts: The Alberta-British Columbia (ABC) District, with offices in Edmonton, Alberta; the Central District, in Winnipeg, Manitoba; and the East District, in Kitchener, Ontario. At present LCC has a congregational roster of 58 churches in British Columbia; 78 in Alberta; 62 in Saskatchewan; 20 in Manitoba; 124 in Ontario; 11 in Quebec; 2 in New Brunswick; and 2 in Nova Scotia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lutheranchurch.ca/congregations.php )〕 Services are variously offered in English, German, Spanish, French, and Korean. Sixteen Canadian congregations — one in Montreal, and the rest in Ontario — remain affiliated with the LCMS in that body's SELC District.
