The Lutheran World Federation is about community. People from all over the world who belong to a host of churches on all continents say: We belong together. I care what happens to sister or brother in a far away country. We are connected in Jesus Christ.

That is really not a new idea. Christians from the very beginning have said exactly said and Paul put it in a beautiful language for example in 1 Corinthians 12: 14-26; we are the body of Christ and individually members of it. That is true even though we might not experience it. It is true even if we don’t see it.

What is different today is: It has become easier to experience that we all belong to one body of Christ and that we can laugh and celebrate with the other members far away. This blog is an example. Another example is our new stronger involvement on facebook.com.

This week, we have started a page on facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/LWF-Youth-The-Lutheran-World-Federation/11307734826

This should be a point were young Lutherans and other friends can meet and voice their interest. They can interact with each other very easily. And it can be the starting point for other activities like starting discussion groups and promoting causes in the Lutheran Communion.

Therefore, please visit the page and become Fan! Then also invite others that might be interested.
