Aconteceu entre os dias 2 e 6 do corrente mês o 5º Encontro Anglo-Ibérico de Jovens Luteranos em Esmoriz, Portugal. O Encontro teve o tema "Vivendo com Família Cristã" e os estudos dirigidos pelos pastores foram sobre a busca da outra metade, compromisso e construindo família em contexto de modelos alternativos. Foi muito enriquecedor a abordagem deste tema uma vez que ele expressa o que na maior parte das vezes representa os anseios e expectativas generalizadas dos jovens: uma vida a dois.
Os momentos devocionais e o Culto Divino foram expressos nas diversas línguas representadas para que todos pudessem participar de forma entusiástica de todos os aspectos do Encontro.
Foi uma boa chance para os integrantes estabelecerem novas amizades e reencontarem velhos amigos de Encontros anteriores.
Dos Açores, participaram os irmãos Silvia e Miguel Barcelos.
