National Lutheran Council. Division of American Missions. Executive Secretary (1945-1960 : Hoyer)
The National Lutheran Council (NLC) was formed 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. In 1942, a Commission on American Missions was established to meet the needs of Lutherans in temporary communities formed by World War II production. By 1945, the Commission received Division status and expanded its program to include a ministry to rural communities, Jewish people, African Americans, and displaced persons; and an Office of Urban Church.
Planning. H. Conrad Hoyer served as Division secretary from 1945 until 1960.
