| | Augsburg Name Change |
 | | Augsburg is non-geographic, that is, it is bounded by a common reading of Scripture and Confession rather than by lines on a map. |
 | | For instance, some may have understood Augsburg as a district of Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC) in the sense of being under LCMC's governance and supervision. |
 | | Thus, Augsburg makes no claim to be the Church with a capital "C." We know and confess that the true Church, the Body of Christ, hidden and oppressed by false belief, hypocrisy, sin, and division until Christ comes again, is unequivocally revealed in this evil age solely by its signs¾Word and Sacrament. |
