Lutheran dialogues with other denominations and religions began in the early 1960s under the auspices of the National Lutheran Council (NLC), whose Executive Committee served as the USANC from 1947-1966. In 1967, with the termination of the NLC and the establishment of the USANC as a separate standing body, the USANC and its successor body LWM, continued its participation in the dialogues. The NLC's successor body, the Lutheran Council in the U.S.A., also participated in the dialogues through its Division of Theological Studies. In 1977, LWM was terminated with the establishment of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
