Eleventh Hour Messenger<br />

Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran<br />

Synod<br />

Organized in 1850 at Milwaukee, Wisconsin,<br />

by three pastors sent to America by a German mission<br />

society, the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran<br />

Synod still reflects its origins, although it now has<br />

congregations in 50 states <strong>and</strong> three <strong>Canadian</strong><br />

provinces. It supports missions in 26 countries.<br />

The Wisconsin Synod federated with the<br />

Michigan <strong>and</strong> Minnesota Synods in 1892 in order<br />

to more effectively carry on education <strong>and</strong> mission<br />

enterprises. A merger <strong>of</strong> these three Synods<br />

followed in 1917 to give the Wisconsin<br />

Evangelical Lutheran Synod its present form.<br />

Although at its organization in 1850 WELS<br />

turned away from conservative Lutheran theology,<br />

today it is ranked as one <strong>of</strong> the most conservative<br />

Lutheran bodies in the United States. WELS confesses<br />

that the Bible is the verbally inspired, infallible<br />

Word <strong>of</strong> God <strong>and</strong> subscribes without reservation<br />

to the confessional writings <strong>of</strong> the Lutheran<br />

Church. Its interchurch relations are determined by<br />

a firm commitment to the principle that unity <strong>of</strong><br />

doctrine <strong>and</strong> practice are the prerequisites <strong>of</strong> pulpit<br />

<strong>and</strong> altar fellowship <strong>and</strong> ecclesiastical cooperation.<br />

It is a founding member <strong>of</strong> the Confessional<br />

Evangelical Lutheran Conference, a federation <strong>of</strong><br />

21 like-minded bodies worldwide.<br />
