What I think is unfortunate is that groups still call themselves different names. These days I largely overlook any group name and just focus on fellowshipping Christ. In Him we are one, through the One Spirit.
But who am I to say - maybe in the kingdom we'll have the "1st Lutheran Church of the Illustrious Underwater Basket Weavers," et. al.
