The World Conference of Associations of Theological Institutions (WOCATI) helds its fourth world congress from 30 May to 7 June in Thessaloniki, Greece.   

WOCATI was inaugurated in a global conference in June 1989 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia in cooperation with the Ecumenical Theological Education (ETE) programme of WCC.

The world forum of associations and accrediting organizations of theological schools from all over the world will discuss key issues of the future of ecumenical theological education in the 21st century under the theme “Theological education - A radical appraisal”. 

The conference is expected to set new priorities for international cooperation and dialogue for ecumenical theological education, for promoting funding in theological education as well as for WOCATI as an umbrella organization. The conference is also seen as a strategic contribution for the Edinburgh 2010 process which in one of its focal areas aims at bringing together new perspectives for theological education in the 21st century.
