The Lutheran Church shares a history with the historic churches organized by Jesus' first followers. In about 1000 a.d., that church split into two factions, the western Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox family of churches. The Lutheran Church comes from a later dispute within the western church in the 1500's. Most "Protestant" churches arose shortly after, using the new disunity as headway. The exception is the Anglican Reformation, which occurred semi-simultaneously to and separately from the Lutheran Reformation. Several "Protestant" churches also arose from the Anglican Reformation. The Lutheran Church claims roots with the followers of Jesus. This means it was likely founded around 25-30 AD and split off into two different churches in 1000 AD.
There are three main types of Lutheran churches: Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), and Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). They differ in their beliefs and practices, such as views on the Bible, sacraments, and social issues. ELCA is more liberal, LCMS is more conservative, and WELS is more traditional in their interpretations of Lutheran teachings.
