A global Church
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark is part of a global Christian fellowship. Our involvement in and commitment to the global Church finds a concrete expression in memberships of national and international organisations. The majority of these organisations are interdenominational or ecumenical. This means that member churches are not all Lutheran but may be Roman Catholic, Methodist, Anglican, Baptist, etc.
