Abstract
This report of the Lutheran-Mennonite International Study Commission helped lay the foundations for the historic step of the Eleventh Assembly of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) in 2010 of asking the Mennonites for forgiveness for past persecutions. Delegates unanimously approved a statement calling Lutherans to express their regret and sorrow for past wrongdoings towards Anabaptists and asking for forgiveness. The report offers churches and individuals historical background on the early condemnations of Anabaptists by Lutherans, new perspectives on what that history means today, and next steps towards a future as reconciled communities of faith.
