October 31 is Reformation Day. This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification (JDDJ). The JDDJ is a historic agreement between the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation that was signed in 1999 on Reformation Day. The declaration is considered a significant achievement in the ecumenical movement.
it was later affirmed by the World Methodist Council (2006), the Anglican Consultative Council (2016) and the World Communion of Reformed Churches (2017), making it a multilateral agreement between five equal partners.
