The link to the English translation of the liturgy is that of the Ukrainian Lutheran Church which is in fellowship with the Evangelical Lutheran Synod and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod and their international organization the Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference.

Are there Eastern Rites besides the Byzantine that are in use by Lutherans? I noticed there are a lot of Lutherans in Ethiopia (Mekane Yesus); do they use the Ge'ez Rite, for instance? FiredanceThroughTheNight (talk) 17:40, 21 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

I strongly suspect there is a mistake about Slovenia in the article, possibly due to a confusion with Slovakia. Slovenia has historically never been part of the byzantine world, nor has it been a land of eastern orthodoxy, so it would not make sense for the lutheran church to have an eastern rite. The only reference is in Czech, which I do not read, however an automatic translation of it makes no reference to Slovenia.
