| Summary: | The ELCA Declaration of Inter-Religious Commitment is an important instrument for mainstreaming inter-religious engagement in local communities and diverse ministries. This article assesses this recent policy document and highlights how the text engages Lutheran theological reasoning on "the neighbor" for a profound understanding of God's grace, theologically de-legitimizes hostility and exclusion, and strengthens joint agency. This resonates with current concerns in the global Lutheran communion and the wider ecumenical movement. |
