Hide Profile

Established in 1947, the USANC was administered by the NLC Executive Committee from 1947-1966. Upon termination of the NLC in 1966, the USANC became a separate standing body. In 1977, it was reorganized again as Lutheran World Ministries, a joint agency of the Lutheran Church in America, The American Lutheran Church, and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches. The USANC and LWM worked closely with the LWF-DWM and its successor LWF-DCC, whose responsibilities included directing LWF mission work around the world and sponsoring consultations on world mission topics. General Secretaries of the USANC and LWM included.

Paul C. Empie (NLC Executive Director, 1947-1966; USANC General Secretary, 1967-1972, 1974-75); Carl H. Mau, Jr. (1973-1974); Paul A. Wee (1976-1986); and Harold T. Hanson (1986-1987). LWM was terminated in 1977 with the establishment of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
