The flag of the largest Lutheran denomination in the US, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, can be seen a although the prominent spelling mistakes probably make this an unofficial variant being used locally in India!Ned Smith, 22 August 2004 The flag shown in the pictures in India wasn't produced in America. I browsed the site and found that the donator of the flag, NELC, is the Northern Evangelical Lutheran Church in India (so the spelling errors are more understandable). It thus may well be a unique specimen.Martin Karner, 23 August 2004 Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod The flag of the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod is emblazoned: The church's logo--a stylized cross--in burgundy on a white field with burgundy stripes in the fly.

The Lutheran Church-Canada has a somewhat similar flag to that of the Missouri Synod. The Church's homepage says that it developed from Canadian congregations of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and still retains close ties with it, so it isn't surprising that there is some similarity between their flags. Both have a doubly silhouetted cross and thin vertical stripes, but whereas the LC-MS's flag has the cross and stripes in burgundy, and the stripes at the hoist, the LC-C's has the cross and stripes in blue, and the stripes not as close to the hoist (note: I am judging that the linked picture of the LC-MS flag is displaying its hoist to the viewer's right) . There are also a few subtle differences between the shapes of the crosses.Ned Smith, 22 August 2004
