The LWF Gender Justice Policy lays out a biblically-rooted framework for the Lutheran global communion of churches to take concrete steps to implement gender justice, adapting action plans to different contextual realities.
The policy document is divided into two parts:
Gender Justice Policy Principles
Gender Justice Methodology
The ten principles express the LWF communion’s core affirmations with regard to gender justice.
The methodology provides tools for the implementation of the gender justice principles that can be adapted to local contexts by LWF member churches and regional expressions.
