What is the Lutheran World Federation, and how do they differ theologically from the LCMS and our partner churches today? Rev. Dr. Jonathan Shaw, LCMS Church Relations Director, joins Andy and Sarah to talk about ecumenism and how Lutherans have historically approached it, how and why the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) began, what was accomplished through the collaborative efforts of churches in the LWF, and how the LWF differs theologically from the LCMS and our partner churches today.
