Humiliatenorden
Evangelische Humiliatenorden ("Evangelical Order of Humiliati") is a German High Church Lutheran religious order that was founded in 1921.
The foundation of the Humiliatenorden was inspired by Friedrich Heiler.[1] It is similar to a third order with temporal vows. The order is Lutheran in its accentuation of sola gratia, but it is Catholic in its position on the sacraments and the Church.[2] In 1946, under the direction of Abbot Richard Walter, the order was "placed completely in the services of the Una Sancta idea",[3] working for Lutheran-Catholic ecumenism.
