“Freed by God’s love- to change the world” is the first virtual conference of the LWF Global Young Reformers Network (GYRN) and is being held on Reformation Day 2014.

Keynote speeches, panel discussions and workshops will explore questions of Christian faith and Lutheran identity. Participants will be able to delve deeper in discussions in small groups.

Workshop topics include:

• Foundations of the LWF foundations
• Principle of youth participation
• Identity and diversity of the Lutheran communion
• Advocacy for climate justice
• And many more…

There will be an online Reformation Day worship service. A special highlight will be a virtual choir bringing together dozens of singers via the Internet.

Participants will have the opportunity to vote on GYRN priorities.

Speakers include Rev. Martin Junge, LWF General Secretary; Ms Eun-Hae Kwon, LWF Vice-President for the Asia region; GYRN Steering Committee members; and members of the LWF delegation to the Interfaith Summit on Climate Change and UN Climate Summit 2014 held in New York in September
