I think that there is an Evangelical Lutheran church and a Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.

-----

The three largest Lutheran denominations in America are the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS), and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). There are over 100 Lutheran denominations worldwide.

Missouri Synod Lutheran Church.

In the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) woman are able to be ordained pastors. However in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) woman are not allowed to be ordained pastors.

The Missouri Synod is actually a separate denomination from other Lutheran denominations, despite the use of the word "synod" in its name. The Missouri Synod is extremely conservative on doctrinal and social issues, e.g. they don't allow female clergy, believe that the Bible is literally true, oppose homosexuality, etc.

Synod of the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church in America was created in 1853.
