60th Anniversary of Marangu Conference
Details
As the Lutheran communion prepares for the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation in 2017 to be held in concert with the 12th assembly in Windhoek, Namibia, the Lutheran communion in Africa also will remember the 60th anniversary of the Marangu Conference.
Held in 1955, the Marangu Conference was the first all Africa Lutheran conference, which led to the birth of the Lutheran communion in the region.
Under the LWF Reformation and Assembly sub-theme: "Liberated by God's Grace: Salvation not for sale, creation not for sale and human beings not for sale", the commemoration will gather 150 delegates representing all levels of the Lutheran communion - from heads of churches and representatives of theological institutions to women and young reformers.
Meetings and workshops aim to address visions on reforming and sustaining the church in Africa.
