Young Christians aged 18 to 30 now have the chance to apply for being one of 25 youth from all over the world in the next WCC stewards programme from 6-22 February 2008. They will participate in the 13-20 February WCC central committee meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, contributing their work in the areas of worship, conference room, documentation, press office, sound, and other administrative and support tasks.
The central committee of the World Council of Churches meets every 18 months to monitor and set directions to the Council's work. It brings together about 150 church representatives, advisers and observers from WCC member churches and associated organizations worldwide.
Before the meeting, stewards follow a week-long ecumenical learning programme which exposes them to the key issues of the ecumenical movement worldwide. The last phase of the stewards programme, following the meeting, focusses on designing ecumenical projects which stewards will implement back home.
Being a steward means hard work, but it is also a unique ecumenical experience of togetherness with young people from different churches, countries and cultures.
Applicants are invited to send in the application form until 20 September 2007.
