SOME HISTORY TRIVIA ABOUT THE LWML:  LWML became international when a society from Bruderheim, Alberta, Canada joined in 1948. The Ontario district was formed in 1950. In 1971, a LWML chapter was formed in Hong Kong, representing fourteen congregations. In 1975, Liga de Senhoras Luteranas do Brazil voted to be affiliated with the LWML. Canadian LWML members formed their own sister organization in 1993.
