Pennsylvania Ministerium
The Pennsylvania Ministerium was the first Lutheran church body in North America. With the encouragement of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, the Ministerium was founded at a Church Conference of Lutheran clergy on August 26, 1748. The group was known as the "Ministerium of North America" until 1792, when it adopted the name "The Ministerium of Pennsylvania and Adjacent States."
The Pennsylvania Ministerium was also the source of the first Lutheran liturgy in America. Because of its unique place in the history of North American Lutheranism, the Ministerium continued to influence the church politics of Lutherans in America into the twentieth century.〔See for example Lowell Almen, ''One Great Cloud of Witnesses: You and Your Congregation in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America,'' (Minneapolis: Fortress, 1997) pp. 38-40 〕
==Lutherans in North America==
In 1638, Swedish settlers, colonizing north along the Delaware from the New Sweden colony, established residences in what would become Philadelphia, at a place called ''Wiccaco'' by the local Lenape tribe, meaning "pleasant place". These Swedish settlers were Lutheran. The Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church was completed in 1700. Colonization extended to present-day Trenton.
German settlers began arriving in North America in the mid-seventeenth century. They were particularly attracted by William Penn's promise of religious freedom in the colony of Pennsylvania, and came to the Philadelphia region in significant numbers. By 1683, the German population was large enough to form communities such as Germantown (now a neighborhood in Philadelphia).〔See for example, Theodore Tappert, "The Church's Infancy" in ''The Lutherans in North America,'' ed. E. Clifford Nelson (Philadelphia:Fortress Press, 1980) pp. 21-31.〕 Many of these immigrants brought with them their Lutheran faith and formed congregations in their new homeland.
