God’s grace liberates us, brings us together in Christ and enables us to live and work together for justice, peace and reconciliation. The LWF is committed to being inclusive and enabling the full and equitable participation of women and men in church life and society, and in its decision-making processes, activities and programs. It looks back at a history of decisions and actions that express this commitment. This LWF Gender Justice Policy, approved by the LWF Council in 2013, is a tool to enhance the communion’s journey towards inclusiveness. Developed in a participatory process, it has grown out of experiences in member churches, is enriched by the biblical and theological bases of our Lutheran identity, and provides guidance and methodologies for contextualizing action plans and strategies in the regions and integrating gender as a crosscutting priority in all of the communion’s work.Pages: 40engWith permission of the license/copyright holderGender ethicsLutheran World FederationMethods of ethicsTheological ethicsCommunity ethicsSocial ethicsSexual orientation/genderEcumenismChristian World CommunionsChristian denominationsLutheranGeneral theology/otherBook
