Biographical History

The Lutheran Council in the USA (LCUSA) was founded in 1967 as an inter-Lutheran agency of The American Lutheran Church (TALC), the Lutheran Church in America (LCA), the Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches (SELC)(which became an LCMS nongeographic district in 1970), and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). The Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches (AELC) joined LCUSA in 1978 and the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in America became a member in 1982. LCUSA coordinated the work of the participating church bodies in mission planning; ministry to students, immigrants, and other groups; theological education, dialogues, and studies; service to military personnel; public relations; and government liaison activities. The Service Information System computer application project was developed by Peat, Marwick.

Mitchell & Company and coordinated by the LCUSA. In 1973, SIS, Inc. was founded as a corporation to provide modern accounting and statistical and cost information for voluntary social service agencies, institutions, and related organizations. Walter A. Jensen, LCUSA Director of Business and Finance, served as the LCUSA representative on the SIS, Inc. Board of Directors. In 1987, LCUSA was terminated with the founding of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
