Webinar exploring the Joint Statement on ‘Filioque’

This webinar explores the recent Common Statement on the ‘Filioque’ issued by the Joint International Commission on Theological Dialogue between the LWF and the Orthodox Church. Seen as a significant step on the path towards Christian unity, the statement addresses the longstanding theological divergence concerning the procession of the Holy Spirit. 

The webinar aims to foster dialogue and understanding, contributing to the healing of ecclesial memory and promoting deeper communion between Eastern and Western Christian traditions.
