The German term evangelisch here more accurately corresponds to the broad English term Protestant rather than to the narrower evangelical (in German called evangelikal), although the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of England use the term in the same way as the German church.
Njemački pojam evangelisch ovdje točnije odgovara širem izrazu Protestant, a ne na užem evanđeoskih (na njemačkom se kaže evangelikal), iako Evangelička luteranska crkva u Americi, Evangelička luteranska crkva u Kanadi i Evangelička luteranska crkva u Engleskoj koriste izraz na isti način kao i njemačke crkve.
