In a statement on the occasion of the first anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States of America, the Council of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) said dialogue among peoples, cultures and religions "is both the means and objective of a genuine and effective response to terrorism."
Isolation and domination "is clearly not the answer" and military means will not provide the security that we seek," LWF Council members said in the statement that was unanimously adopted. They stressed that it is only through mutual understanding and solidarity, including active efforts to address social and economic inequities, that the root causes of terrorism can be removed.
