Economic Globalization Focus of New LWF Publication
Since 2000, the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) has had a programmatic focus on the challenges posed today by economic globalization, as part of the wider ecumenical family and civil society. The LWF has now published “Communion, Responsibility, Accountability --Responding as a Lutheran Communion to Neoliberal Globalization” – LWF Documentation No. 50.
The first part of this book brings together the publications, processes, events and select responses that have been a part of this work, including commitments made at the 2003 LWF Tenth Assembly. Also presented are diverse perspectives from LWF member churches, field programs of the Department for World Service, and from youth, and an indication of what has been said ecumenically.
The second part contains articles that deepen the theological, pastoral and ethical reflections that are evoked by economic globalization, but are much wider in their implications. The book is edited by Rev. Dr Karen L. Bloomquist, director, LWF Department for Theology and Studies, and study secretary, Office for the Church and Social Issues.
