Abstract

The Lutheran World Federation's Commission on Church Cooperation sponsored an international consultation in Tokyo with some 150 people, from April 29 to May 4, 1971, under the theme "The Role of Lutheranism in an Ecumenical Age." It was the first sizeable gathering of such a nature since the recent restructuring of the Lutheran World Federation at its Evian Assembly in 1970. That it was held in Asia was also noteworthy.

From June 6 to 12, 1971, the LWF Executive meeting occurred in Oslo. It was also the first enlarged meeting (more than 100 participants) of the top governing body of the LWF since the Evian Assembly.
