ILC prepares for 2026 World Seminaries Conference

by | Mar 12, 2026

SOUTH AFRICA – The International Lutheran Council (ILC) will hold its 2026 World Seminaries Conference in Pretoria, South Africa, from June 23-26.

The theme for this year’s conference is “Being Human, Being Christian: Theological Anthropology in Church and Seminary.” In an era of transhumanism, gender ideology, and post-modern anthropology, this conference will equip seminary leaders and faculty to faithfully teach a biblical and confessional Lutheran understanding of what it means to be human.

The International Lutheran Council is a global association of confessional Lutheran church bodies dedicated to the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, grounded in the authority of Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions.
