The Religion and Development program finished in 2017.
For information on current programs on Theology please see here.
This program seeks to understand the nature of the relationship between religion and development.
How can development undertaken by faith-based practitioners use religious or theological resources in their work on human rights or other issues?
We want to deepen understanding of religious institutions, ideas and practices as they relate to development, promoting an inter-disciplinary perspective on development that focuses on best practices.
Our member churches assume a faith-oriented approach to development but have high regard for secular development practices. We use our own theological resources while learning from other approaches in order to strengthen our contribution to the wellbeing of society.
Sub-program | This annual symposium seeks to provide a platform for theological and inter-disciplinary reflection on the topic of work. We bring together participants from different disciplines to explore the possible contribution of Lutheran theology of vocation to the understanding of work.
We work with identified churches through the Department for Mission and Development and with the Department for World Service.
No junk. Just the latest LWF news.
