LWF WICAS and the English speaking congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Geneva are celebrating the Reformation Day by giving visibility to the contributions of women from the past and the present to the Reformation journey. The views in the XV century of Argula von Grumbach (in Germany), Marie Dentière (in Switzerland) and of many contemporary women that made the theological reflection grow, will be at the core of this event.
How LWF encompasses the process to make visible women’s participation will be presented by Rev. Dr Martin Junge, LWF’s General Secretary. The presenters will be Rev. Roswitha Golder, former coordinator of the movement “Witnessing Together and honorary pastor at the Geneva protestant Church and Ms Ana Villanueva, Executive Assistant to the LWF General Secretary.
