New Discussion Site
A new Web-based theological discussion site was
launched in April by the Lutheran World Federation (Department for
Theology and Studies), in connection with its global initiative,
"Theology in the Life the Church." Check out the initial
papers and discussion forum at www.luthersem.edu/lwfdiscuss,
where you can read what has been posted or sign up to be a
participant in the forthcoming
discussions.
The current focus of this theological work is:
Confessing and living out faith in the triune
God, in the face of
- death and injustice
(track 1)
- multi-faith challenges
(track 2)
- charismatic and Pentecostal challenges
(track 3)
- moral differences that threaten church unity
(track 4).
A basic premise is that theology can
and does make a difference in the life of
the church in the world. The intent is to bring together
theologians from different parts of the world, with their diverse
backgrounds, contexts and approaches, for exchange, interaction,
support, mutual challenge, and encouragement in pursuing
theological writing that can contribute in significant ways to the
deepened self-understanding, life, and practices of churches
globally. For further information, contact
