Hey!
Confessional Lutheran
I went down a deep rabbithole just now trying to work out what this is, and I stumbled upon the **tree of all religions**¹ where I think found you at the 2pm position:
Ancient Israelite Religion (~1 BC)
|_ Christianity (~1000 AD, up to the Great Schism)
|_ Western or Roman Catholic Church (~1500s, up to Martin Luthor Reform)
|_ Unnamed Lutherian Branch (~1820s)
|_ Unnamed Lutherian Branch2 (~1980s)
|_ Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference
(I hope I got it right...) I love these kind of trees and hierarchies because they're driven entirely by ideology, and it's like watching the operating system distro wars of the 1990s-2010s play out, as they split off from one branch or root due to one reason or another on a hill that someone is willing to die on.
It's a rich tapestry of decision making weaved into fabric of humanity
