In the run-up to its 60th anniversary in 2008, the World Council of Churches (WCC) invited young theologians and students of theology to submit essays addressing the theme:
Making a Difference Together -
Prospects for Ecumenism in the 21st Century.
By the end of February, the WCC had received 55 essays from different church traditions, contexts and perspectives.
The authors of up to six of the best essays will be invited to participate in an international consultation on Ecumenism in the 21st Century, which will take place in January 2009 in Brazil. Other selected essays will be printed by WCC Publications and/or published on the WCC website.
The essay contest is part of the programme to commemorate the Council’s 60th anniversary in 2008.
