Lausanne Movement

2004 Forum LOPs

Each of the 31 Forum Issue Groups are writing and editing papers that are a result of their group work before, during and after the Forum. These documents will become Lausanne Occasional Papers (LOPs) and provide details on specific evangelism issues, outline a theological perspective, provide case studies and offer a strategic plan for addressing the issue on a global basis.
