Biographical notes:

The National Lutheran Council (NLC) was established on September 6, 1918 as a common agency of participating Lutheran church bodies to administer domestic programs, publicize Lutheran activities and beliefs, and provide overseas emergency relief to areas devastated by World War I. By the 1940s, the NLC expanded and reorganized its program through the creation of divisions, departments, commissions, and bureaus. The Lutheran Service Commission was established in 1951 as a joint agency of the NLC (under its Bureau and later Division of Service to Military Personnel) and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LC-MS).
