Lutheran World Federation Q&A
Following Sunday School this weekend (November 4), Pastor Beverly DeBord will lead a question and answer session on the NALC proposal to join the Lutheran World Federation (LWF).
The LWF is, by self-definition, “a global communion of Christian churches in the Lutheran tradition. Founded in 1947 in Lund, Sweden, the LWF now has 145 member churches in 79 countries all over the world representing over 70 million Christians.”
Two-thirds of the member congregations of the North American Lutheran Church (NALC) must vote to ratify this recommendation of the denomination. Grace members will be voting on this proposal at the November 18 congregational meeting.
