National Lutheran Council. Division of American Missions

The National Lutheran Council (NLC) was formed on September 6, 1918 as a common agency of particpating Lutheran church bodies to administer domestic programs, publicize Lutheran activities and beliefs, and provide overseas emergency relief to areas devastated by World War I. In 1942, a Commission on American Missions was established to meet the needs of Lutherans in temporary communities formed by World War II production. After the War and the creation of the Division of American Missions, the program continued on a reduced scale through the 1960s.
