The '''International Lutheran Council''' ('''ILC''') is a worldwide association of [[confessional Lutheran]] denominations. Member bodies of the ILC hold "an unconditional commitment to the Holy Scriptures as the inspired and infallible Word of God and to the Lutheran Confessions contained in the [[Book of Concord]] as the true and faithful exposition of the Word of God." The member church bodies are not required to be in church-fellowship with one another, though many of them are.
The organization was constituted in 1993 at a council held in [[Antigua, Guatemala]], although it traces its roots back to [[Christian theology|theological]] conferences held in various locations during the 1950s and 1960s. It is to be distinguished from the [[Lutheran World Federation]] (LWF) and the [[Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference]].
