"Ecumenical cooperation in evangelism should regain a high and visible priority" in the World Council of Churches (WCC), said a group of mission specialists  participating in a seminar held at the Ecumenical Institute in Bossey from 6-12 June.

Elements of a "new ecumenical agenda on evangelism for the 21st century," they suggested, could be an Ecumenical Decade for Common Evangelism (2010-2020), and an "inclusive, diverse and participatory" process of planning for a the centennial celebration of the 1910 World Mission Conference in Edinburgh.

In the context of this celebration, they also suggested staging "a huge international ecumenical youth evangelization festival".
