Lund Principle

Lund Principle

The Lund Principle is an important principle in ecumenical relations between Christian churches. It affirms that churches should act together in all matters except those in which deep differences of conviction compel them to act separately.

It was agreed by the 1952 Faith and Order Conference of the World Council of Churches held at Lund, Sweden.
