It was established in 1918 and was replaced in 1966 by the Lutheran Council in the United States of America.

The planning committee then met in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on August 1, 1918. Finally, the National Lutheran Council was organized on September 6, 1918, in Chicago, Illinois. There were eight founding members of the NLC: *The Evangelical Lutheran General Synod of the United St ...
