Sumario:This text re-discusses the motivations of political order which led the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) to transfer its Assembly from Porto Alegre to Evian, France in 1970. Among the reasons for the transference was the lack of awareness on the part of the directing board of the Igreja Evangélica de Confi ssão Luterana no Brasil (IECLB) [Evangelical Church of Lutheran Confession in Brasil], of the violation of Human Rights by the authoritarian civil-military government specifi cally in the period considered to be of the most intense repression, between 1969-1974. Besides recovering the debate on the theme, the text includes an analysis of the interviews carried out with people of the Evangelical-Lutheran confession who struggled for the re-democratization of Brazil, suffering with the silence of their church and with the oppression of the State.
