Global Confessional and Missional Lutheran Forum

The Global Confessional & Missional Lutheran Forum (Global Forum) is a global gathering of national and regional Lutheran churches. The forum was founded in Dallas, Texas by invitation of the North American Lutheran Church in 2015 to bring together Confessional Lutheran bodies who wish to emphasize missional discipleship as the focal point of ministry in the world. The gathering can be seen as an alternative to the more liberal Lutheran World Federation and to the more conservative International Lutheran Council.

    gollark: Discworld? There are 41 of those books. They're very good, mostly.
    gollark: They also sealed it to cover up the flatness of the Earth.
    gollark: They have to stop people escaping via digging downward through the Earth too.
    gollark: Or would it be a crystal *cylinder* for a flat earth?
    gollark: "Clearly I've hit the crystal sphere surrounding the Earth and my rocket broke."
