LWF leadership visits new Communion Office for inaugural prayer of thanksgiving and blessing
(LWI) - A hub for world Lutheranism. A place of gospel welcome. A space to continue journeying together with ecumenical partners. Staff of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) Communion Office in Geneva welcomed President Henrik Stubkjær and Council members to their new premises on 17 June for an inaugural prayer of thanksgiving and blessing for the work of the global communion of churches.
In March, the LWF's head office moved from the Ecumenical Center where it had been located since 1964 into the modern Octagon campus close to Geneva airport. Most of the Ecumenical Center will be rebuilt, while the old chapel and main hall, which enjoy preserved building status, will be incorporated into a new, eco-friendly development.
