- Die Lutheran Church in America (LCA) war eine lutherische Kirche, die vor allem die östlichen Bundesstaaten und den Mittleren Westen der USA sowie die atlantischen Provinzen Kanadas umfasste und die von 1962 bis 1986 bestand. Der Sitz der Kirchenleitung befand sich in New York City. Die Kirchenmitglieder stammten zu einem großen Teil von Immigranten ab, die aus Deutschland, Schweden, dem heutigen Tschechien, der heutigen Slowakei, Dänemark und Finnland in die USA eingewandert waren.

- The Lutheran Church in America (LCA) was an American and Canadian Lutheran church body that existed from 1962 to 1987. It was headquartered in New York City and its publishing house was Fortress Press. The LCA's immigrant heritage came mostly from Germany, Sweden, present-day Czech Republic, present-day Slovakia, Denmark, and Finland, and its demographic focus was on the East Coast (centered on Pennsylvania), with large numbers in the Midwest and some presence in the Southern Atlantic states. Theologically, the LCA was often considered the most liberal and ecumenical branch in American Lutheranism, although there were tendencies toward conservative pietism in some rural and small-town congregations. In church governance, the LCA was clerical and centralized, in contrast to the congregationalist or "low church" strain in American Protestant Christianity. With some notable exceptions, LCA churches tended to be more formalistically liturgical than their counterparts in the American Lutheran Church. Among the Lutheran churches in America, the LCA was thus the one that was most similar to the established Lutheran churches in Europe. The LCA ordained the country's first female Lutheran pastor, Elizabeth Platz, in November 1970. In 1970, a survey of 4,745 Lutheran adults by Strommen et al., found that 75 percent of LCA Lutherans surveyed agreed that women should be ordained, compared with 66 percent of ALC Lutherans and 45 percent of LCMS Lutherans. It subsequently ordained the nation's first female African-American Lutheran pastor (Earlean Miller in 1979), first Latina Lutheran pastor (Lydia Rivera Kalb in 1979), and first female Asian-American Lutheran pastor (Asha George-Guiser in 1982). The LCA was a founding member of the Lutheran Council in the United States of America, which began on January 1, 1967. (en)
- Lutheran Church in America, LCA var ett kyrkosamfund i USA som bildades 1962 genom en sammanslagning av flera äldre lutherska kyrkor:
* United Lutheran Church in America
* Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church (Augustanasynoden) med svenskt ursprung.
* American Evangelical Lutheran Church med danskt ursprung. 1988 slogs LCA samman med The American Lutheran Church och Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches och bildade Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Lutheran Church in America ansågs vara en förhållandevis liberal och ekumeniskt inriktad kyrka. Organisatoriskt var kyrkan klerikal och hierarkisk, i kontrast mot den kongregationalistiska och/eller lågkyrkliga inriktning som många andra amerikanska (även lutherska) samfund hade. LCA kunde därmed sägas vara den lutherska kyrka i USA som hade mest gemensamt med de lutherska folkkyrkorna i Europa. (sv)
