Evangelical Lutheran Synodical Conference of North America - Successor Organizations

Successor Organizations

While the Evangelical Lutheran Synodical Conference of North America was never directly replaced, several organizations were later formed that claim to follow in the spirit of the original Synodical Conference.

Among these are the Church of the Lutheran Confession, mentioned above, and the Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference which was formed in 1993 by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, the Evangelical Lutheran Synod and twenty other international church bodies.

The Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference is probably closest in spirit to the original Evangelical Lutheran Synodical Conference of North America, in that it comprises two of the original members and has many of the same goals as the original organization.
