LWF Mission Document Published in French, German and Spanish
The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) document titled Mission in Context: Transformation, Reconciliation, Empowerment—An LWF Contribution to the Understanding and Practice of Mission is now available in French, German and Spanish. The title produced by the LWF Department for Mission and Development was first published in December 2004 in English.
It builds on the foundations of the 1988 LWF mission document, Together in God’s Mission: An LWF Contribution to the Understanding of Mission and aims to stimulate self-analysis and reaffirmation of mission in context among the LWF member churches and other bodies.
The contents of the publication emphasize among other aspects, the church as not only missionary but as a witnessing, nurturing, messenger that serves and heals community. The document draws parallels between God’s mission and the church’s participation in it through three dimensions: mission of the creator (transformation); redeemer (reconciliation); and sanctifier (empowerment).
