Edinburgh 2010In 1910, Edinburgh was the venue for the historic World Mission Conference. This was a gathering which caught an epoch-making vision of the church as a truly global missionary community. As the centenary of this event approaches, it is time to reflect on its significance in the light of the experience of the past hundred years and the realities of Christian Mission in the 21st century. The WCC will play a leading role in the organization of a celebrative and widely owned mission conference in June 2010 in Edinburgh, in coordination with partners in the ecumenical movement, within and outside the WCC's fellowship. A multi-denominational and international process has been set up to commemorate the 1910 World Missionary Conference, and to provide new perspectives on mission for the 21st century. From 2 to 6 June 2010 a Centenary Conference will take place in and around the historic sites of the 1910 conference. 250 mission leaders from all over the world will come to Edinburgh to witness to Christ today.
