Historical\u00a0sketch<\/h3>\n

The first Lutheran missionaries to the Cape area of southern Africa, sent by the Berlin Mission Society, arrived in 1834. Ten years later, Hans Paludan Schreuder of Norway was sent by a mission committee, which eventually became the Norwegian Missionary Society, to begin working among the Zulus in Natal (now Durban). \u00a0Schreuder established the first permanent mission station among the Zulus in 1851; the first baptism of a Zulu person took place in 1858. \u00a0In 1873, a policy disagreement led Schreuder to leave the N.M.S. \u00a0His missionary endeavors, renamed the Schreuder Mission, subsequently came under the administrative oversight of the Church of Norway. \u00a0After the merger that created the Norwegian Lutheran Church in America (later renamed the Evangelical Lutheran Church) in 1917, the Schreuder Mission in South Africa was recognized as an \u201cofficial mission\u201d of the new church body. \u00a0The NLCA took over management of the Schreuder Mission in 1927, at which time the name was changed to the American Lutheran Mission in South Africa. \u00a0When a synod was formed in its area, it was named the Mankankanana Synod, after the Zulu name for Schreuder.<\/p>\n

In 1960, a merger occurred between the Mankankanana Synod and three other Lutheran synods in the Zulu-speaking area, including those which had developed from the efforts of the Berlin Mission, the Church of Sweden Mission, and the Norwegian Missionary Society. \u00a0The new church body was named the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa-South Eastern Region (ELCSA-SER). \u00a0In 1963, the Hermannsburg Synod also joined. \u00a0The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa (ELCSA) was formed in 1975 when the ELCSA-SER and three other regional churches merged.<\/p>\n

Lutherans have had a history of involvement in the most urgent social issues in South Africa, including racial equality, opposition to apartheid, ministry to those affected by AIDS, and women\u2019s issues.<\/p>\n

Box 28 \u00a0\u00a0Mankankanana Synod<\/h4>\n

A. \u00a0Mankankanana \u00a0is the Zulu name for Bishop Schreuder. \u00a0The Mankankanana Synod was constituted as an independent body \u2013 evolving from the work of the American Lutheran Mission (Schreuder Mission) which began in 1927 when the then Norwegian Lutheran Church in America (NLCA \u2013 later ELC) at the request of the Schreuder Mission Committee in Norway took over their responsibility in South Africa.<\/p>\n

This synod continued until 1961 when it became a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in South Africa \u2013 South Eastern Region (ELCSA-SER). \u00a0(1960 Merger Convention. \u00a0Began to operate in 1961) \u00a0This body was constituted by the merger of 4 synods evolving from the work of the following mission organizations: \u00a0Berlin Mission, Church of Sweden Mission, Norwegian Missionary Society and American Lutheran Mission. \u00a0The Synod from the work of the Hermannsborg Mission joined in 1963.<\/p>\n

\nNote: \u00a0Since Zulu was the \u201cofficial\u201d language of this synod, a much more complete collection of documents is in the archives in South Africa \u2013 in offices of the ELCSA-SED (South Eastern Diocese) in Umphumulo, Kwazulu \u2013 Natal.
\nThis synod didn\u2019t exist for a long period, but it was a very important step on the way to the formation of the South Eastern Region \u2013 ELCSA (SER) in 1960

<\/a>Lutheran Orient Missions\"arrow<\/a><\/h2>\n

Historical Sketch<\/h3>\n

The Lutheran Orient Mission (LOM) was established in 1910 at the Protestant Inter-National Conference for Foreign Missions in Edinburgh. \u00a0Originally named the Inter-Synodical Lutheran Orient Mission Society, it is currently called Lutheran Mideast Development. \u00a0Its purpose is to serve the Kurds, an ethnic group of some 25 million scattered among Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. \u00a0The Kurds trace their origins to the Medes of the ancient Persian Empire.<\/p>\n

The first missionaries sent were L. O. Fossum, a Lutheran pastor from Berwyn, Illinois, and E. Edman, a pastor and veteran of the India missions. \u00a0They established a missionary compound at the city of Soujbulak; this property was completely destroyed during a war between Russia and Persia (1912-1916). \u00a0The missionaries fled at that time. \u00a0After World War I, Fossum returned. \u00a0Before his death in 1920 at age 41, he produced a Kurdish alphabet, grammar, an English-Kurdish lexicon, as well as translations of the New Testament, Luther\u2019s Small Catechism, and a hymnbook with 100 hymns and a Lutheran liturgy.<\/p>\n

Medical service was part of the missionary effort from the beginning. \u00a0Fossum and Edman had brought nurses when they first arrived in Soujbulak, and a succession of medical personnel subsequently served in the territory. \u00a0In the 1960s, Dr. Richard Gardiner, an English physician, labored to fund the construction a hospital in Gorveh, Iran. \u00a0His hospital was closed in 1979 when LOM was forced to leave the country.<\/p>\n

Political circumstances made it impossible for LOM to continue its work in Iraq and Iran. \u00a0LOM was ejected from Iraq in 1959 for no clearly stated reason. \u00a0Nonetheless, Sadiq Shammi, an evangelist, was able to keep the Iraq mission field alive through the 1970s. \u00a0After Shammi\u2019s retirement, no one was able to continue in Iraq because of the war with Iran. \u00a0At the beginning of the war, all foreigners were driven out of Iran, forcing the abandonment of that field as well. \u00a0LOM subsequently set up operations in Egypt and Bangladesh, while continuing to hold its primary mission to be ministry to the Kurds wherever they could be reached.<\/p>\n
