                          Most Lutheran synods in the United States, such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA), have bishops as part of their church hierarchy just like many other mainline Protestants. 

Why does the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod not have bishops and instead have a “President” and similar leadership?
