		But the Mecklenburg church, based in the state's capital of Schwerin, is roughly twice as large in area and membership, some 212,000, as the Pomeranian church, based in Greifswald.
		While the Pomeranian church is in fact Lutheran, it is also a member of the Union of Evangelical Churches (UEK), which comprises the 13 member churches of the Arnoldshain Conference and the Evangelical Church of the Union (EKU).
		The different sizes of the two churches and the frequent question of the identity of the Pomeranian section of the state have, on the other hand, not always proved conducive to the merger and have at times slowed negotiations down.

	Introduction-German Tracts of the Lutheran Church
		With this situation the Lutherans were not satisfied, and in 1772, after unsuccessful efforts to secure pastors and teachers from Pennsylvania, they sent two commissioners to Europe, Christopher Rentelmann, from Organ Church, Rowan County, and Christopher Layrle of St. John's Church, Mecklenburg, (now Cabarrus County) to apply for aid to the Consistory of Hanover.

		In an October article in VELKD Informationen, the information office of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church of Germany (VELKD), Johannesdotter pointed out that there has been a "far-reaching convergence among the Protestant churches" through the Leuenberg Concordat under which Lutheran, Reformed and United churches recognize one another as churches and share pulpit and table fellowship.
		The Lutheran churches saw the Reformation confessions as "more or less finished" as stated at that time, while the Reformed churches' view was that they were not finished and would have to be updated through the writing of new confessions for the present time.
		Thus Johannesdotter explained, Lutheran churches worldwide are united by their self understanding, and they seek fellowship with those of like confession in organizations such as the VELKD.
