An ecumenical resource for local churches

This resource is intended for use in LWF member churches or other settings to enable the understanding and reception of the Joint Statement on the Filioque, drawn up by the Lutheran Orthodox Joint International Commission on Theological Dialogue during its 18^th session in May 2024.

It contains background to the centuries-old dispute between Eastern and Western churches over the wording of the Nicene Creed, an explanation of the methodology which led to this ground-breaking agreement and the hope that it may inspire Lutheran and Orthodox parishes to engage in joint services, prayers and other activities.
