The WCC central committee comprises 158 members, the WCC regional presidents, and 100 advisors from the wider ecumenical movement. Its purpose is to implement the assembly mandate, make policy decisions, and address issues affecting the life and witness of the churches.
In South Africa, the central committee will initiate a midterm review of strategies and governance. It will also initiate preparations for the next assembly in 2030. The central committee meeting will be an important encounter on the Pilgrimage of Justice, Reconciliation, and Unity, particularly with South African churches.
