Reflecting on the Past
On May 8, 1945, Europe began to heal from the atrocities of World War II. Now, 80 years later, we still feel the impacts of that devastating conflict. The scars remain, reminding us of the pain and suffering endured by countless individuals. In this pivotal moment, the LWF Vice-Presidents in Europe are calling on churches to take an active role as peacemakers.
These leaders emphasize the importance of promoting peace and reconciliation in our communities. They urge congregations to not only remember the past but to foster a culture of understanding and cooperation among diverse groups. By doing so, we can build a brighter future that honors those who suffered during the war.
