Confessional Lutheran
Confessional Lutheranism is a name used by Lutherans to designate those who believe in the doctrines taught in the ''Book of Concord'' of 1580 (the Lutheran confessional documents) in their entirety. Confessional Lutherans maintain that faithfulness to the ''Book of Concord,'' which is a summary of the teachings found in Scripture, requires attention to how that faith is actually being preached, taught, and put into practice. Confessional Lutherans believe that this is a vital part of their identity as Lutherans. The term Confessional Lutheran is generally used among the more conservative churches found in groupings such as the International Lutheran Council (ILC), the Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference (CELC), and the Global Confessional and Missional Lutheran Forum. Churches of the larger Lutheran World Federation subscribe to the ''Book of Concord'' as an exposition of faith in so far as (''quatenus'') it agrees with their interpretation of the Bible.

Anglicanism In Spain
Anglicanism in Spain has its roots in the 16th-century . Today it is represented by two Church bodies, namely, the Spanish Reformed Episcopal Church and Church of England's Diocese in Europe. Background The Spanish Reformation started in the 16th century, when several Spaniards fully agreed with the approaches of the Protestant Reformation initiated by Martin Luther in Germany. Outstanding groups among these adherents were those of Valladolid (related to Lutheranism) and Seville (initially favourable to Calvinism). The Sevillian group included the Hieronymite monks from the Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo. In the beginning, Spanish Protestantism spread mainly amongst the noble and educated class, due to its close ties with Christian humanism and the reading of the Bible. As testimony to this period, there were distinguished names such as Juan de Valdés, Francisco de Enzinas, Casiodoro de Reina, Cipriano de Valera and Antonio del Corro. Casiodoro and Cipriano made the firs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Protestantism In Spain
Protestantism has had a very minor impact on Spanish life since the Reformation of the 16th century, owing to the intolerance of the Spanish government towards any non-Catholic religion and the Spanish Inquisition. However, it has become more prevalent in the 20th and 21st centuries thanks to immigration of Pentecostal Christians from sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America/Caribbean. Many Romani people also converted to Pentecostalism in the last decades. Ninety-two percent of Spain's 8,131 villages do not have an evangelical Protestant church. Recent history Francoist persecution Protestantism made a comeback following the Glorious Revolution of 1868, which resulted in the granting of greater religious liberties; this was rescinded again during caudillo Francisco Franco's Spanish State. In Franco's authoritarian Spanish State, Protestantism was deliberately marginalised and persecuted.
