Apologies; I thought they were the same root organization, and cannot find any clear information to discern whether they are or aren't. "lutheran" as a NGO is a fairly distinctive word. A 'lutheran' named entity has had a contract in place in many (if not all) counties in State of Florida for child protective services and has operated in a very gray area of law.
