lutheranism The General Synod officially known as the Evangelical Lutheran General Synod of the UnitedStates of North America was an association of Lutheran church bodies in America. The roots of the General Synod reach back to the Pennsylvania Ministerium , at whose suggestion the Synod was founded in 1820. Under the leadership of Samuel Simon Schmucker , the General Synod founded Gettysburg College as well as Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg , the oldest continuously running Lutheran college and seminary in North America. Like many Protestant denominations, the General Synod was split over the issue of the Civil War, at which time the United Synod of the South General Synod South was founded. The General Synod further split over theological issues in 1867, at which time the General Council Lutheran General Council was formed by dissatisfied members of the General Synod. These three groups were reunited in 1918, with the formation of the United Lutheran Church in America , a predecessor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America . In 1912, the General Synod reported 1,384 pastors, 1,788 churches, 420,398 baptized members, 317,073 confirmed members, and 237,648 communicants.
