The World Council of Churches has concluded its central committee meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, with new plans to adopt a streamlined programme strategy that will provide a new framework for the next seven years of ecumenical action and advocacy.
“The decisions made this week equip the WCC for a dynamic, integrated and deliberate engagement with some of the major challenges facing our churches and the world at the start of the 21st century,” WCC general secretary Rev.
