LWF President Younan Draws Attention to Luther’s Drive to Reform, Rebuild the Church

President’s address to Twelfth Assembly calls for deeper sense of an interdependent communion 

The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) President Bishop Dr Munib A. Younan today encouraged members of the worldwide communion of churches to capture Luther’s drive to reform, rebuild and remake the church in a spirit of repentance and faithfulness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Addressing participants on the opening day of the 10-16 May Twelfth Assembly of the LWF in Namibia’s capital Windhoek, Younan said while it was important to remember the history of the 16th century Reformation and the men and women who made it possible, “it is also essential that we seek out the spirit of freshness and freedom, with which the Holy Spirit moved then and continues moving today.”
