The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) welcome Pope Francis

The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) joined faith-based organizations working with displaced families in the Central African Republic (CAR) in saluting Pope Francis’ recent visit to the African country as a sign of hope.

In statement the groups working with the thousands of vulnerable people in CAR said the Pope’s visit came at a critical time. The pontiff has said he went to CAR, 30 November, as a pilgrim of peace.
