Abstract

On October 31, 2016, a historic event took place in Lund, Sweden: the Joint Catholic and Lutheran Commemoration of 500 years of reformation. Reflecting on the before and the after of this milestone in Catholic-Lutheran dialogue, I will discuss baptismal ecclesiology as an ecumenical way forward.
