Will Luther’s Excommunication be lifted in 2021? A Plea of the Altenberg Ecumenical Round Table

Margriet Gosker



Abstract

The Altenberg Ecumenical Round Table appeals in a declaration or appeal to Pope Francis asking him to lift the ban on Martin Luther and his followers, while appealing to the Lutheran World Federation to remove from the confessions the passages calling the Pope Antichrist. I describe the release of the Altenberg Appeal and the publication of the book on the subject, including its background and the first reactions to both. Finally, I explain my own position here.

Keywords:

Altenberg Appeal, Ecumenism, Luther, Excommunication, Joint Declaration, Confessio Augustana
