46. The Missouri Synod and Wisconsin Synod (even more rigid) Lutherans
are the descendants of nineteenth century German immigrants who thought the state church of Germany (Evangelische Reformierte Kirche) was soft on...everything.

Their nineteenth century German heritage makes them high church, but their history of being the German equivalent of Puritans makes them theologically rigid.

Most (not all) Lutheran schools you see are run by either the Missouri or Wisconsin Synods, because they believe in "Christian education" for their young.
