J.W.C. Dietrichson, an ordained clergyman from Norway founded the the Synod 1853. The Synod originally trained its pastors at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, but later founded Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. The Synod fostered close ties with C.F.W. Walther and the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod which embroiled it in controversies over slavery and predestination. The predestination controversy led to a split in the Synod in 1888, out of which came the Anti-Missourian Brotherhood. In 1917, the Synod joined with the United Church and Hauge\u2019s Synod to form the Norwegian Lutheran Church in America.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_divider et_pb_divider_0 et_pb_space\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":859,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1681","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P4QTkz-r7","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/locluth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/locluth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/locluth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/locluth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/859"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/locluth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1681"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/locluth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1681\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1716,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/locluth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1681\/revisions\/1716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/locluth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
