Message from the 2012 LWF European Church Leadership Consultation under the motto, “With Passion for the Church and for the World.”

The three LWF regions in Europe – Central Eastern Europe, Central Western Europe & the Nordic countries – agree to strengthen the exchange and cooperation in the regions.

Europe’s Lutheran leaders pledged to continue to advocate on behalf of their local and global neighbors, even as they cautioned about a growing demand for diaconal services on the continent amid diminishing resources.
