\u201cEcumenical fellowship has [grown] all over the world through numerous encounters between Lutherans and Catholics,\u201d said the pope in his greeting read to worshippers at the 25 March LWF 60th anniversary eucharistic worship service at the Lund Cathedral in Lund, Sweden. Walter Cardinal Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity delivered the greeting.<\/p>\n The pope described the relations between the two communions as \u201ca gift of the Holy Spirit\u201d which at the same time \u201ccommits us not to slacken in our ecumenical endeavors in the spirit of our Lord\u2019s prayer \u2018that they may all be one\u2019\u201d (John 17:21).<\/p>\n \u201cWe are called in common witness to proclaim the saving message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a world suffering distress and seeking orientation at so many points. After all, \u201cwe boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God\u201d (Romans 5:2b).<\/p>\n Of the major progress in ecumenical relations made since the 1960s, Pope Benedict singled out the solemn signing of the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification on 31 October 1999 in Augsburg, Germany. He noted that the questions currently calling for further clarification include, above all, the understanding of the Church, its sacraments and its ministries.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Det lutherske verdensforbund har nettopp hatt et m\u00f8te i Lund i Sverige, der de har feiret sitt eget 60-\u00e5rsjubileum, og ogs\u00e5 sett framover.
