LWF Studies' Department Launches Internet Forum on Theology in the Church
The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) Department for Theology and Studies (DTS) has launched a new Internet-based discussion forum for its “Theology in the Life of the Church” global initiative. Started on 4 April, www.luthersem.edu/lwfdiscuss provides initial papers and a discussion forum, where one can sign up at no cost, read what has been posted or participate in the forthcoming discussions.
The current focus is "Confessing and living out faith in the triune God" in the face of
death and injustice (track 1)
multi-faith challenges (track 2)
charismatic and Pentecostal challenges (track 3)
moral differences that threaten church unity (track 4).
A basic premise is that theology can and does make a difference in the life of the church worldwide. Through this forum, DTS aims to bring together theologians from the different parts of the world to share mutually from their diverse backgrounds, contexts and approaches, insights on theological writing that can contribute in significant ways to deepening the self-understanding of the life and practices of churches globally. The Web-based interaction will allow its users to exchange information and ideas, support and mutually challenge one another on the focus subjects.
