LCC Plans for 500th Anniversary of the Augsburg Confession

WINNIPEG – Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) is making plans to celebrate the 500^th anniversary of the presentation of the Augsburg Confession in 2030—including by ensuring that the 2030 Synod Convention theme be based upon it.

The Augsburg Confession is the foundational Lutheran statement of faith.

LCC’s 13^th convention resolved that “the Synod President, in consultation with the Commission on Theology and Church Relations, strike an anniversary committee to prepare and gather study guides, provide worship materials, articles for The Canadian Lutheran periodical, and the like on the Augsburg Confession.”

The resolution also directs the various gatherings and assemblies of the church—from circuit forums, regional gatherings, church worker conferences, youth and young adult gatherings, LWLMC rallies, to focus on the anniversary.

Resources to mark the anniversary are to be disseminated two years in advance of the anniversary in 2030.
