The Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria (LCCN) is a major Lutheran denomination in Nigeria, a member of the Lutheran World Federation.〔 Established as an independent church from the Sudan United Mission - Danish Branch (known as Mission Afrika today) in 1913 (SUMD), the LCCN now has 1,900,000 members〔Lutheran World Federation: (LWF Statistics 2010 )〕 in over 2,400 congregations nationwide. Members of the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria are among the Christians and members of other religious groups being actively persecuted by Boko Haram, an Islamic terrorist organization.〔 ==History==
The SUMD first sent missionaries to Africa in 1913 with the pioneers being Niels Brønnum, his wife Margaret C. Young, and Dagmar Rose. Brønnum's wife died shortly after arriving and Rose brought back the Brønnum's infant son to Europe. Brønnum continued his work and established a mission in Numan.〔 The mission eventually expanded and in 1948, the first five indigenous Nigerian pastors were ordained. By 1955, it was known as the Lutheran Church of Christ in the Sudan〔 and in 1956 became independent as the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria〔 with Pilgaard Pedersen as its first President ((ハウサ語:Ekkilisiyan Kristi a Nijeriya Lutheran)).〔 In 1960, Akila Todi was elected the first indigenous Nigerian president of the Church.〔 He was made bishop in 1973 when the church adopted a modified episcopal polity.〔
