Launching the 500th Anniversary of Reformation in Lebanon

Through a press-conference, hosted by Bishop Boulos Matar, Maronite Bishop of Beirut with Father Abdo Abou Kassm the head of the Catholic Media Center (C.E.C.S) in Lebanon, the Protestant Churches launched the celebrative event of the 500th anniversary of Reformation. This step came as the outcome of long ecumenical relations between Catholic and Protestant churches in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon. In the line of celebrating the Reformation-anniversary Pope Francis also will visit Sweden on 31st of October, 2016 to join an ecumenical commemoration of Reformation. At that time Rev. Habib Badr similarly will travel to Sweden, Lund (where the Lutheran World Federation was formed), to participate in that event. The joint commemoration is a witness to the love and hope in the One Lord, and a sign of reconciliation and cooperation between the two communities.

(Rev. Adeeb Awad, vice president of the Evangelical Synod in Syria and Lebanon, and Rev. Nabil Mamarbashi attended the press conference with some ladies of our NEC Church).
