| dc.description.abstract | Church fellowship is a doctrine that is significant to the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutherans Synod
(WELS). It is significant because all doctrine is important; however, church fellowship can also
be difficult to communicate. Understanding church fellowship requires knowing what fellowship
is, what fellowship isn’t, and a knowledge of doctrine as a whole. More importantly, church
fellowship is understood through faith, which can make communication difficult. This thesis
seeks to evaluate how church fellowship is communicated in the WELS. This thesis will provide
a biblical evaluation of fellowship, explore the history of church fellowship, and finally, offer an
evaluation of official statements on church fellowship in the WELS. | en_US |
