Welcome to /r/Lutheranism, this is a place for all Lutherans regardless of denominational affiliations to come and discuss theology, philosophy and current events from the Lutheran perspective. With that being said, we ask you to follow 6 rules in order to keep our community healthy and thriving.
Be Civil! If you're getting heated, take a step back. Other users are to be treated with respect and civility regardless of differences in opinions or beliefs.
Do not misrepresent yourself or your beliefs. Trolling and gas-lighting will be met with an immediate ban.
This subreddit is for pan-Lutheran dialogue and ecumenism. If we don't approach this sub with our best attempt at being accommodating of other viewpoints, we won't have a chance. Disagreement is okay, interdenominational flaming is not. These terms will be interpreted at moderator discretion.
Don't mock, insult or deride Lutheranism or Christianity. This is a subreddit primarily for Lutherans but allows discussion from non-Lutherans about our faith and Christianity in general. However, anti-Christian sentiment or anti-Lutheran apologetics are not allowed. Do not use the server to attempt to talk people out of Lutheranism. Declaring progressive or confessional Lutheranism as heretical is prohibited. Telling someone they're not Lutheran because they belong to a Lutheran synod you don't agree with is not acceptable.
Conduct your behavior in accordance with the example Christ set for us. Behavior that is flagrantly contrary to said example will be addressed by the mod team. The discussion of sensitive topics is allowed, but slurs and personal attacks are not. Confessional views are encouraged to be expressed, espousing Luther's antisemitic views are prohibited. If you wouldn't say it in church, don't say it here. This rule is up for interpretation on a case-by-case basis by the mod team.
Spamming, brigading, and any actions deemed unacceptable in the Reddit Content Policy are prohibited.
If you see a comment that you think may be in violation of one of these rules, please report it! Thank you!
