Address of the LWF General Secretary elect
Rev. Martin Junge
Eleventh Assembly of the Lutheran World Federation
Stuttgart, July 26, 2010
Communio is God’s gift, not our work
Our diversity: a sign of God’s work in context
Dissonances will lead us to find new tunes (Ps. 149)
To be Lutheran is to be ecumenical!
The church participates in God’s holistic mission
A task ahead: coherence and balance in holistic mission
The LWF has many centers! (polycentric nature of the LWF)
Every church has something to give;
Every church is in need to receive;
The need to engage in transcontextual dialogue
Solus contextus? (context alone?)
Inclusive communion
Quotas ensure space, but not participation
The LWF belongs to the member churches
Diakonia at the heart of the LWF
No to a « communio incorvata in se ipsa »
(communion curved in on itself)
Man has survived hitherto Because he was too ignorant to know
How to realize his wishes.Now that he can realize them,He must either change them
Or perish.
