The Leuenberg Agreement and Polish Evangelical Churches

Abstract

The article aims to analyse the significance of the Leuenberg Agreement for the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Poland, the Evangelical Reformed Church in Poland and the Evangelical Methodist Church in Poland in three contexts. Firstly, the relationship between the Leuenberg Agreement and bilateral agreements introducing altar and pulpit fellowship between Polish Churches. Secondly, the question of how the Leuenberg Agreement influenced the proposals put forward in the Polish ecumenical debate to create a single united Polish Protestant Church. Finally, the reception of the Leuenberg Agreement and other work of the Communion of Protestant Churches in Europe in the life of Polish Evangelical Churches.
