Reflecting on the timeless question, “Who is my neighbour?” The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) member churches have embarked on a journey of action across Europe.
Rooted in the essence of conviviality—living together in harmony—these communities are weaving a tapestry of unity and compassion into the fabric of society.

Rev. Dr. Sivin Kit, LWF’s Director for Theology, Mission, and Justice, recently shared this vision at a seminar in Budapest. He emphasised the transformative power of embracing a diaconal spirit—a lifestyle centred on serving others.
Dr. Kit believes that through this collective commitment to service, we can see the world through the lens of hope, fostering a belief in the possibility of building a better future together.
The LWF is poised to take this vision even further with the launch of a transformative learning program later this year.
Designed to inspire and guide individuals and communities on their journey of convivial living, this program seeks to equip participants with the tools and mindset needed to foster unity, compassion, and solidarity.
As communities across the globe grapple with challenges ranging from social inequality to environmental degradation, the message of hope and conviviality championed by the LWF member churches serves as a beacon of light.
By embodying the principles of neighbourliness and collective action, these communities not only transform themselves but also inspire others to join in creating a more inclusive and compassionate world.
In a time when division and discord seem prevalent, the LWF’s vision reminds us of the transformative power of unity and service.
As individuals and communities come together to embrace convivial living, they pave the way for a future where hope prevails and where the bonds of humanity unite us all in a shared journey towards a brighter tomorrow.
