Established in 1977 as the successor body of the U.S.A. National Committee of the Lutheran World Federation (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. In 1987, the LWM was terminated and its USANC responsibilities were assumed by the Office/Department for Ecumenical Affairs of the newly created Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
