| | LWF: Nairobi Satement on Worship and Culture: Contemporary Challenges and Opportunities |
 | | We call on the Lutheran World Federation to make an intentional and substantial effort to provide scholarships for persons from the developing world to study worship, church music, and church architecture, toward the eventual goal that enhanced theological training in their churches can be led by local teachers. | | | Baptism and Eucharist, the sacraments of Christ's death and resurrection, were given by God for all the world. | | | We call on all member churches to recover the centrality of Baptism, Scripture with preaching, and the every-Sunday celebration of the Lord's Supper -- the principal transcultural elements of Christian worship and the signs of Christian unity -- as the strong center of all congregational life and mission, and as the authentic basis for contextualization. |

| | From the Lutheran World Federation |
| | On behalf of the 105 member churches of the Lutheran World Federation, who are preparing for their own assembly in Curitiba, Brazil, in February next year, I wish you a successful outcome of your intensive work here at your general council in Seoul. | | | It is with great joy that I greet you all on behalf of your sister churches in the Lutheran World Federation. | | | It was a time when traditions were questioned and new commitments were made in expressions of spirituality to show the relevance of the word of God in daily life, in church and society. |

| | The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification was affirmed by the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the Roman-Catholic Church and solemnly confirmed on 31 October 1999 in Augsburg, Germany. | | | For the LWF, the decision of its Assembly in Curitiba in 1990, in which the Federation is described as a communio of Lutheran churches, is obviously, albeit with many reservations, being recognised by its dialogue partner. | | | The World Methodist Council (WMC), congratulating the LWF and the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (PCPCU) on the occasion of the confirmation of the Joint Declaration in Augsburg, said the agreement positively affects the course of relations between the Catholic Church and other Christian World Communions. |

| | Anglican Communion: The Hanover Report |
| | This reinvigoration of the diaconate has various roots: liturgical revival, a livelier sense of the church's mission in the world, and a renewed perception of rightful diversity in the church's ministries. | | | In this document the Anglican- Lutheran International Commission uses a theological model which it believes is especially suitable for locating diaconal ministry within the mission and ministry of the church as a whole. | | | For Jesus was crucified because his messianic mission was to be God's saving embrace of all Israel and of all the world. |

| | Therefore, I ask all LWF member churches to support the leaders and members of their sister churches in the USA with prayer and accompaniment, as they seek to fulfil their prophetic calling. | | | This issue should be reflected on by the churches, especially those such as the Lutheran churches that have integrated just-war theory into their theology. | | | In this regard, I would like to pay special tribute to Bishop Mark Hanson and the leadership of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, who have again and again represented the wider LWF communion in their own context and to their political leaders in a truly prophetic way. |

| | As you will observe, the Catholic response recognizes the great effort made by the Lutheran World Federation, through a worldwide consultation with the synods of the member churches, to reach a consensus that would be truly meaningful. | | | In view, however, of the many discussions on this point in the Lutheran World Federation at Hong Kong and elsewhere, it was thought well to state the Catholic position clearly here for a more precise presentation of the Catholic doctrine in this connection. | | | It was felt, however, that even with such an overwhelming approval as the joint declaration received from these synods, there still remain important differences concerning the understanding by the two partners of authority in the church, which leave unanswered certain questions. |
