Lutheran World Federation to cut structure and add worship panel
The Lutheran World Federation plans to streamline its structure at the ongoing fourth assembly in Helsinki. Proposals include reducing commissions from nine to six, dissolving two committees, adding a worship and spiritual life commission, and moving the Latin America office to a regional secretariat in Geneva. An associate general secretary would aid the overburdened general secretary, while student work and internal affairs would be abolished. Dedication of a new church in Marion and a local gospel quartet appearance are noted alongside.
