Evangelical Lutheran Church - Synod of France and Belgium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Evangelical Lutheran Church - Synod of France and Belgium, or ELC-SFB (French:Église Évangélique Luthérienne Synode de France et de Belgique, or EEL-SFB) is a confessional Lutheran church body of France. Around a dozen parishes belong to ELC-SFB. Their locations are listed below.

As of 2006, the ELC-SFB is a member of the ILC which is in fellowship with the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod of North America.

The ELC-SFB formed in 1927 by congregations founded during the 19th century when people left the State Lutheran Church in Alsace Lorraine for doctrinal reasons. Outreach started before and after World War 2. The Synod supports francophone churches in Central Africa and is involved in leadership training in West Africa.^[1]

The president (October 2006) is the Reverend Jean Thiébaut Haessig, who is also pastor for the congregation in Chatenay Malabry in the Île-de-France Hauts-de-Seine Arrondissement Antony in the southwestern suburbs of Paris. Pastor Haessig is also the director of the media outreach "L'Heure Luthérienne" (site: www.mediachrist.com), a spinoff from Lutheran Hour Ministries.
