Lutheran World Ministries (Agency). Office on World Community.
Established in 1977 as the successor body of the USANC, LWM was a joint agency of the Lutheran Church in America, The American Lutheran church, and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches. Its programs focused on world mission, theological and social study, volunteer service, publicity and communication, and international scholarship exchange. The Office on World Community was established in 1973 as a joint project of the USANC and the LCUSA, to inform USANC members of world community needs, events, and issues and U.N. activities. The Office was transferred to LWM in 1977.
In 1987, LWM was terminated with the establishment of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
