[edit] Advert and Context tags

This article is quite clearly still lifted verbatim from a promotional website. While it seems above that copyrights are not an issue, the fact remains that it still sounds like an advertisement for the church, while neglecting key encyclopedic info. The links suggest that the ELFC is an international body. The article doesn't make this clear. How many countries have ELFC churches? Are the national branches of the ELFC independent of one another, or is the international organization fairly tight? How many churches are there? How many people are members? When was it founded? The article now focuses on theological point of view, but doesn't include these key facts. Fishal (talk) 12:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
