Evangelical Lutheran Church of Cameroon
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Cameroon (EELC) ((フランス語:L’Eglise Evangélique Luthérienne au Cameroun)) is a Lutheran denomination in Cameroon. The EELC was registered as a religious body in Cameroon in 1965 and currently has approximately 253,000 members〔Lutheran World Federation: (LWF Statistics 2010 )〕 in 1,300 congregations nationwide.
The current bishop of the EELC is the Rev Dr Ruben Ngozo.
==History==
The EELC traces its beginnings from the work of independent American mission known as the Sudan Mission led by Adolphus Gunderson and the Norwegian Missionary Society (NMS) led by Jens Nikolaisen in the 1920s. The Sudan Mission established itself among the Gbaya people while the NMS worked among the Mbum people in the Adamawa Region in 1923 and 1925 respectively.
In 1925, both the Sudan Mission and the NMS cooperated in their mission and a hospital was established in Ngaoundéré while a seminary was established in Meiganga.〔
With a framework of collaboration firmly established, discussions were initiated in 1950 for the establishment of a national church in Cameroon.〔 In 1960, an agreement was reached and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Cameroon and the Central African Republic (フランス語:Eglise Evangélique Luthérienne du Cameroun et de la République Centrafricaine)) was established. In 1965, the Church was registered as the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Cameroon〔 and in 1973, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Central African Republic formally separated as an independent national church.
