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 />
