TAALC was formed mainly by congregations of the American Lutheran Church (many with a Free Lutheran heritage) that rejected the 1988 merger that created the ELCA.
Formally called the Evangelical Lutheran Church in American until the current ELCA was being formed in 1987 -- but always spoken of as the "Eielsen Synod" -- this synod of very independent Norwegian-American Pietists has apparently declined to one congregation, whose story is linked here.
A "post-denominational association" established March 2001 by ELCA pastors and congregations intent on rejecting the ministry of Bishops in historic succession as outlined in the ELCA-Episcopal agreement, Called to Common Mission.

The vanguard dedication of the American Association of Lutheran Churches (AALC) to the charismatic renewal movement and the Fuller Seminary Church Growth Movement (CGM) is a matter of public record.
Delegates to the AALC National Convention on June 22nd at Bethel University in Minneapolis now have an opportunity to begin the reversal of this tragic history by voting in favor of Pastor Johnson's proposal to develop a program for honest theological education for pastors in conjunction with Concordia Fort Wayne Seminary.
The AALC is a church body which has apparently made at least a beginning of cleaning up its image as a refuge for synergism, Pietism and Enthusiasm (the Charismatic, as well as the Church Growth Movement varieties) recently.
