LWF together – the Earth needs you gives groups of Lutheran young people around the globe the chance to share their faith, pray and work for ecological justice.
What | The Global Communion Experiment
LWF together links groups of young people worldwide aged 15-30 for discussion and action on God’s creation and environmental stewardship.
Three groups in different regions will be matched so they can share insights and learn about ecological issues people in other areas of the Lutheran communion are facing. For six months, each set of three groups will study relevant Bible passages and take a look at creation care challenges where they live.
Each group will organize activities to address ecological injustice at both the local and global level, looking to connect with the work of others in the program.
Why | Rooted Locally, Acting Globally
Member church representatives at the 2010 LWF Pre-Assembly Youth Conference targeted environmental justice and sustainability as priority issues.
LWF together looks to build a global Lutheran action community to tackle these tough questions together.
