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.1 online resource (120 pages)engWith permission of the license/copyright holderMennoniteAnabaptistsDoctrinal condemnationsBilateral dialoguesLutheransLutheran World FederationMennonite World ConferenceEcumenismChristian World CommunionsChristian denominationsLutheranGlobal Church History and World ChristianityReformationContemporaryBook
