    Default Re: flags in the lutheran church

    Hi, Ctr,

    American flags are commonly displayed in churches of many denominations. However, the flag is a symbol of secular authority, and some might feel that it is out of place in a religious context. The decision is really up to the church authorities and/or individual congregations.
