history
In the course of the liturgical movement , the Lutheran Liturgical Conference was founded in 1941 . Under the direction of Christhard Mahrenholz, her initially emphasized Lutheran character gave way to an inner evangelical openness, so that for a long time, in addition to Lutheran, Reformed and Uniate theologians have also been working in her. Since " Old Catholics and the Roman Catholic Church (with guest status) ... carry the work", it was renamed the Liturgical Conference in 2002 .
The regional churches belonging to the EKD are represented in the conference; it also includes individuals from Austria and Switzerland, among others .
