As of recent estimates, there are approximately 200,000 Lutherans in North Carolina. This number includes members from various Lutheran denominations, with the largest being the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS). The Lutheran community in the state has been growing, reflecting broader trends in the southern United States.
The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod is based in Milwaukee. It has approximately 1,270 congregations in all 50 states, with a membership of about 400,000. It is the third largest Lutheran church body in the United States. It also supports foreign mission in more than a dozen countries around the world, including Japan, Taiwan, India, Zambia, Malawi, Cameroon, Brazil, Mexico, Grenada, Antiqua, St. Lucia, Russia, Bulgaria, and Nigeria.
There is really only one type. There are, however, many different "synods," dioceses or jurisdictions. In many European countries, the Lutheran Church is the state church only divided by political-geographical boundary and language. For example, the Church of Norway has different bishops and dioceses than the Church of Sweden while both are Lutheran Churches with the same basic principles. In the U.S., there are three major synods, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Each started as a separate immigrant Church only divided by language. The three Churches follow the same basic beliefs and practices while they remain separate due to minor theological and polity issues along conservative/liberal lines and of interpretation of the Bible and Lutheran Symbolical writings.
There are many Lutheran girls who are members of Girl Scouts. In fact, there is a National Lutheran Association on Scouting which supports scouting in both Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) and Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) churches. It also supports the earning of the PRAY religious emblems. However, there are some Lutheran Synods which do not allow girls to join Girl Scouts. One of the reasons is that they do not allow public prayer, so if they were part of a Girl Scout troop, the girls would not be allowed to pray with other Girl Scouts.
After Catholic and Protestant, some other Christian belief systems include Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, and Evangelical.
