Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod

The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) is a US-based Christian denomination. It recently resolved a legal dispute with Hong Kong International School (HKIS), an institution it co-founded. The nearly year-long litigation stemmed from alleged breaches of agreement, with the LCMS suing the school. The dispute was settled out of court, with HKIS reportedly making a substantial payment to the LCMS to end their association. This settlement effectively dissolves the partnership between the two entities. The LCMS's involvement as a co-founder and subsequent legal action made it a significant party in this high-profile case concerning the governance and operational relationship of the international school.
