Not to be confused with other Lutheran bodies, in which the national expression is called a synod, in the ELCA, a synod is most similar to a diocese or conference in other mainline denominations.
The synod claims about 100,000 baptized members and 140+ congregations[1] in south-western and south-central Wisconsin. The current bishop is The Rev. Peter Rogness who was appointed to serve as Interim Bishop beginning September 26, 2019 following the resignation of The Rev. Viviane Thomas-Breitfeld.[2]
