Four issues which were divisive among American Lutherans in the 1860s, and continued to be a point of contention into the next century:

• 1. chiliasm (or millennialism),
• 2. mixed communion (altar fellowship),
• 3. exchange of pulpits with sectarians (pulpit fellowship),
• 4. and secret or unchurchly societies (such as Masons, the Lodge, etc.).
