Description
Summary:The Leuenberg Agreement (LA) is one of the most productive ecumenical documents ever seen. It initiated a church fellowship, the “Community of Protestant Churches in Europe” (CPCE). LA evoked an ongoing process of its' own reception that can be seen in a variety of different expressions such as church communion, doctrinal conversations and public statements. However, this reception is still all too frequent limited to the European level of interaction between the member churches of CPCE. It remains one of the main challenges for the Community, a condition for “Verbindlichkeit” and the legitimated representation of its members to strengthen the awareness for the relevance of LA and CPCE in the single parishes.
