The Lutheran Council in the United States of America, often referred to as LCUSA, was an ecumenical organization of American Lutherans that existed from 1967 to 1988. It succeeded the National Lutheran Council, whose eight member churches had been reduced to two due to the mergers forming the American Lutheran Church (ALC) in 1960 and the Lutheran Church in America (LCA) in 1960. In 1959, the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS) had responded favorably to an invitation to discuss the formation of a new inter-Lutheran organization, with meetings in 1960 and 1961 leading to agreement to form LCUSA.

As a result, the LCMS and the Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches (a small church body already in fellowship w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
