[JVS]

Concordia University, Ann Arbor, MI
Concordia University at Austin, Austin, TX
Concordia College, Bronxville, NY
Concordia University, Irvine, CA
Concordia University Wisconsin, Mequon, WI
Concordia University, Portland , OR
Concordia University, River Forest, IL
Concordia University, St. Paul, MN
Concordia College, Selma, AL
Concordia University, Seward, NE
Concordia College Moorhead, MN

So far 11. Anyone have more?

1. Better question - Are they all Lutheran?

[JVS]

2. I know that all the one's I've listed are.

There have got to be some heretical concordias out there though

[Lydia Leftcoast]

3. Yes, they are all Lutheran, and all except the one in Moorhead, MN

are Missouri Synod Lutheran, which is the second most fundamentalist variety of Lutheran.

The one in Moorhead is ELCA. I don't know how it got that name.

[JVS]

4. I can think of 2 more conservative varieties.

WELS and ELS.

[KitchenWitch]

5. The ALC

Even more conservative than the WELS

[JVS]

6. I thought the ALC merged with the LCA to make ELCA back in the 80's?

But iirc, there were people in the ALC that would have none of that and formed the TALC

[Lydia Leftcoast]

10. NOBODY is more conservative than the WELS

ALC (lots of rural Scandinavians) was slightly more conservative than LCA (city folk of both German and Scandinavian descent), but not so conservative that they couldn't join with them to form the ELCA.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

9. Oh yes, the WELS are the most hard-assed of the hard-assed

They kick parishes out for being "soft on feminism" (e.g. letting women vote in elections for church council).

about 10 miles east of me..

[JVS]

8. Montreal has one too!
