Lanka Lutheran Church
The Lanka Lutheran Church is a Lutheran body that once existed in Sri Lanka.[1] It was a denomination of around 5000 members, in fellowship with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod since 2001.[2] As a full member of the Lutheran World Federation, it was also in full communion with all other Lutheran World Federation churches. In 2009, it had 5,324 baptized members.[3]
Today the Lanka Lutheran Church has become the Ceylon Evangelical Lutheran Church, which is a full member of the International Lutheran Council.
