With Lithuanian independence in 1990, the ELCL began to receive back church buildings and properties that in Soviet times were nationalized and used for various purposes. Churches and property were returned throughout the 1990s. In 2006 the ELCL reported having 21,000 active members, 52 congregations, and 15 pastors. The ELCL is a member of the Porvoo Communion . Reflecting its conservative confessional Lutheran stance, in 2000, the ELCL declared itself in full fellowship with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (U.S.). SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
