North European Luther Academy NELA

Our mission is, on the foundation of The Holy Scripture and in faithfulness to the Evangelical-Lutheran confession (The Book of Concord), to pursue dynamic theological research and education, that rediscovers treasures in the theological heritage of our Churches and confronts the biblical truths with today's questions.

NELA was founded August 1998.

Activities: Annual Theological Symposium in the Fall.

Symposium 2023 is planned to be held in Wittenberg October 29 - November 1
