To be Lutheran is to be ecumenical

The Institute for Ecumenical Research in Strasbourg welcomes applicants for this online study course aimed at Lutheran pastors and advanced students of theology. The seminar has three main goals:

• To transmit to a younger generation the historic achievements in overcoming conflicts between Lutherans and other Christian churches 
• To discuss ecumenical relationships in participants’ home countries and develop tools to analyze and further dialogue in local contexts 
• To develop a transcultural dialogue about ecumenical theology and practice in order to strengthen communion between different parts of the global communion of churches 

Participants will receive five lectures in video and written form to study in advance of the daily webinars. They will also receive a certificate of participation at the conclusion of the course, which costs €150 for the week. The aim of the seminar is to contribute to a deeper awareness of the LWF’s self-understanding: “To be Lutheran is to be ecumenical.”
