Greetings from your friendly Roman Catholic!
In the United States, ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America), LCMS (Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod) and WELS (Wisconsin Synod) are the major three Lutheran bodies.
North American Lutheranism (NALC) also exists. Another confessional synod is Mission of Lutheran Churches.
I recently learned there is a Church of the Lutheran Brethren that is pietistic and non-liturgical.
What other bodies are not well so known?
Peace
