LWF Youth lead global Reformation prayer

In this time of physical distancing, the Lutheran World Federation will gather online to unite in prayer on Reformation Day 2020. LWF Youth from around the world will lead our liturgy that focuses on baptism, which reconciles us to God and all creation. By water and Word, the one Spirit unites us through time and space into one body of Christ, and enlightens us with one hope to live our vocation in trust and courage. We will hear messages of hope from around the world and dance to music by Grupo Anima, theology students at Faculdades EST, Brazil.

Reformation Day 2020

Participants share how youth-inspired projects contribute to ongoing reformation in the church

In its second phase, the LWF Global Young Reformers Network (GYRN) provides a platform for youth in the member churches to work around focus areas identified at the Twelfth LWF Assembly. These include three priorities namely, revival of churches, equity and education, and two cross-cutting themes-- climate justice and youth participation. The goal is to inspire and empower youth to engage and participate in the ongoing reformation of the church.

During the regional meeting, the young reformers will report on youth-led initiatives among the 31 LWF member churches in Africa, identify best practices and set priorities for the coming years.

Facilitated by LWF Communion Office staff, the online meeting will include smaller group discussions around the main topics.
