The first conference within the framework of the study program The One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church: Lutheran Perspectives of the Department of Theology and Studies was held in June 2008 at the Ecumenical Institute at Bossey.
Participants underlined the importance of worship as the core of the Church and stressed the Church’s ongoing missionary task. The international group of theologians urged congregations to profess more often the commonly shared Nicene Creed as a visible and audible sign of communion with Christians from other confessions.
The papers presented at this consultation were published in May 2009 in the LWF Studies series 01/2009, One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Some Lutheran and Ecumenical Perspectives. Contributors include: Eve-Marie Becker (Denmark), Song-Mee Chung (Malaysia), Michel Grandjean (Switzerland), Minna Hietamäki (Finland), Eberhard Jüngel (Germany), Nelson Kilpp (Brazil), Samuel Ngun Ling (Myanmar), Dimitrios Moschos (Greece), Cheryl M. Peterson (USA), Johanna Rahner (Germany), Philipp Stoellger (Germany), and Yonas Yigezu (Ethiopia). [Please click to order, CHF 16, USD 14, Euro 10, plus postage and packing].
