Lutherans; During the time of the Reformation and for many years following, this was not the name by which we were known. We were called Evangelicals, Gospel proclaiming Christians who adhered strictly to the Bible. Over time, however, others who were not truly evangelical claimed this title for themselves, leaving us to identify ourselves as Evangelical Lutherans.
Patrimony. That is the word I use to describe what we, the churches of the Reformation have to be thankful for from the Church Historic, or Church Catholic.
