Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Distinctive Doctrines and Usages of the General Bodies of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the United States The Lutheran Board of Publication issues this Book in response to the suggestion of one of its lay members. A brief yet comprehensive statement of the distinctive doctrines and usages of the General Bodies of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in this country, it was thought, would furnish information that would be desired by many, but which was not accessible in a cheap and convenient form. These distinctive features are here presented by the able and eminent writers who represent their respective General Bodies. Each writer views these differences from his own doctrinal standpoint, and is alone responsible for his statements. The reader, however, will find valuable information concerning the history of the several General Lutheran Bodies, and the causes which have originated and which yet perpetuate their organic separation. The several papers are arranged in the order of the date of the organization of each General Body. 1. Joint Synod of Ohio, organized 1818. 2. General Synod, organized 1820. 3. German Iowa Synod, organized 1854. 4. General Council, organized 1867. 5. Synodical Conference, organized 1872. 6. United Synod in the South, organized 1886.
