United Lutheran Church in America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Lutheran Church in America (ULCA), established in 1918 with the merger of three independent German synods: the General Synod (1820), the General Council (1867) and the United Synod of the South (1863). The Slovak Zion Synod (1919) joined the ULCA in 1920. The Icelandic Synod (1885) joined the ULCA in 1940. In 1962 the ULCA became part of the new Lutheran Church in America.
