The annual Baptist World Alliance General Council meeting has gathered more than 400 Baptist delegates from over 50 countries in Mexico City for its annual gathering.
The weeklong General Council commenced on 3 July and will close today 8 July. A major focus of the gathering has been on the meetings, workshops, forums and worship services.
Over the years the event has grown year by year, and has seen a transformation in both the content and quantity of meetings.
While departments such as the men, women and youth; divisions such as Study and Research, Evangelism and Education, and Baptist World Aid; and continental federations such as the Asians and Africans meet as in past gatherings, there is has been a new focus this year in the Mexican capital.
