Coming together under the theme “God breathed life unto dry bones,” leaders from the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) member churches in Latin America and the Caribbean and North America are gathering from 9-13 May to engage in dialogue, reflect on challenges the churches face, shared experiences, and the good news of Christ’s presence in the Americas. Hosted jointly by the Lutheran Church in Chile (ILCH) and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chile (IELCH), representatives of the regions are meeting in person for the first time in three years, due to COVID-19 restrictions.
