In her New Year message for 2024, The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) General Secretary Rev. Dr Anne Burghardt reminds Christians of the call to love both God and neighbor. This “double commandment” invites the LWF communion to share Christ’s guiding light in the darkness, offering hope and encouraging “us to go out into the world and serve all people.”
