Biographical History
(For history of the Lutheran Council in the USA (LCUSA), see OCLC #38889555.) The Division of Mission Services was established at the LCUSA's founding to further cooperation among the LCUSA church bodies in their mission activities in the U.S. and abroad. The Division's Department of Church and Community Planning sought to gather and provide resources concerning mission planning for the LCUSA church bodies; produce papers on mission issues related to the church in metropolitan, rural, and developing areas or in cultural, ethnic, and social groups; provide coordination of area studies of congregations and church structures in relation to communities and regions; identify needed research; and communicate information study results to church leadership at national, regional, and parish levels.
In 1973, the Division of Mission Services and Division of Welfare Services merged to become the Division of Mission and Ministry. The LCUSA was terminated in 1987 at the founding of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
