Welcome

Since 1984 the Anglican-Lutheran Society has provided a meeting point where people can deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Lutheran and Anglican traditions within the Christian Church.

Membership is open to anyone willing to work and pray for the unity of the Church, especially between Anglicans and Lutherans world wide. Members are offered opportunities to meet for worship and study, to get to know one another better and to support each other in Christian witness and service.   

We hope that you will enjoy visiting these pages. If you would like to join the Society we should be delighted to welcome you.

Annual Meeting, 9th March 2013

This was a most enjoyable occasion. The business meeting received reports from the officers and National Co-ordinators, and elected the Rev Dr Jaakko Rusama and the Rt Rev Michael Ipgrave as Co-Moderators, and Canon Dick Lewis as Secretary.

Thanks were expressed to our retiring Co-Moderators, Bishops Rupert Hoare and Jana Jeruma-Grinberga, and to our Secretary, Dr Roy Long.

The afternoon session on 'Christian Community: Being and Acting', at which the contributors were Dr Peta Dunstan and Dr Dominik Klenk, stimulated some lively discussion and questions.

Turn to the AGM page for a full account of the meeting and access to the presentations.

New Conference Venture Judged a Success

Our exciting conference in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, England, ran from 3rd to 7th September, 2012 at the Anglican College of the Resurrection at Mirfield, Yorkshire, UK.

Entitled 'Life Together : Christian Ministry in Tomorrow's World', the programme was designed to help people from all church affiliations who are either in training for, or recently embarked upon an authorised ministry of some kind, lay or ordained, to face up to the challenges of the next few decades. Judging from the feedback we have received it seems to have been a success.
