A Study on God's Word and Our Lutheran Confessions Concerning Church Fellowship By the Rev. Dr. Alvin L. Barry, President of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, St. Louis, Mo. Visible expression of church fellowship is fellowship in the objective, external "marks" of the church, for it is through these means that God the Holy Spirit is working to create and sustain saving faith. These means of grace are important for the church. Therefore, they are decisive in matters of church fellowship. |

Church Fellowship By the Rev. Prof. Kurt E. Marquart, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind. In English, the word "fellowship" suggests sociability, camaraderie, perhaps a friendly romp with balloons and donuts in the parish "fellowship hall." The Greek "koinoonia" (fellowship, communion) means sharing, participating in common treasures, culminating in the communion of the Lord's Body and Blood. |
