This series comprises records related to Lutheran Church in America (LCA) mission work in Uruguay. They were retained by the office of the Secretary for South America and the Caribbean of the Division for World Mission and Ecumenism (DWME) and are from 1975-1981. They include handwritten and typewritten business correspondence, financial, audit and activity reports, and records related to specific projects and activities in Uruguay supported by the DWME. Records primarily pertain to the two geographic areas in which the DWME provided assistance, Rivera and Montevideo. Records related to work in Montevideo pertain to the Lutheran Center owned by the DWME and the Ecumenical Institute, to which the DWME provided assistance in several forms. These records are mostly correspondence and financial and activity reports. Records related to work in Rivera include those pertaining to financial assistance to Resurrection Lutheran Church, theological education for students, and funding of scholarships. Several pieces of correspondence are written in Spanish. The remaining records in this series pertain to projects and activities for which the DWME provided financial as well as other means of assistance. In addition to the projects of the church in Rivera and the Ecumenical Institute in Montevideo, there are also records for the Extension Seminary in Rivera, a day care center in Montevideo, and two agricultural projects related to the local honey production industry, and a milk processing facility.
