  Evangelical Lutheran Church in America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Church is divided into one non-geographical synod (the Slovak Zion Synod) and 64 regional synods or dioceses in the United States and the Caribbean, each headed by a synodical bishop and council.
The Church is a result of a merger between the Lutheran Church in America (LCA), the American Lutheran Church (ALC) and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches (AELC), all of which had formally agreed in 1982 to unite after several years of discussions.
As a Lutheran church body, the ELCA professes belief in the "priesthood of all believers", or that all baptized persons are true ministers of the Church.
