History of the LWF
The Lutheran World Federation
The Lutheran World Federation’s short account of its own history: its founding assembly at Lund in 1947 and the names, countries, birth dates and terms of its presidents.
The page records that the federation was established in 1947 and held its first assembly at Lund in Sweden from 30 June to 6 July of that year, attended by 47 member churches from 26 countries, with Anders Nygren of Lund as its first president. Its list of presidents gives Christian Krause the years 1997–2003 and Munib Younan the years 2010–2017. It is used in this wiki for those dates.
