Anglicans and Lutherans in Africa Draw Closer
Episcopal News Service. April 4, 1991 [91094H]
Anglicans and Lutherans from southern and eastern Africa have taken another step closer to the possibility of full communion between their religious traditions. Representatives of the two denominations, meeting in Namibia, March 6-7, set plans for a February 1992 consultation that would take a hard look at the obstacles to full communion. The projected gathering, to be held in Zimbabwe under the auspices of the Lutheran World Federation and the Anglican Consultative Council, will examine such issues as denominational and social structures and the role of women and youth in the church.
