"It was the first time the WCC would play a significant role in the formation of a regional ecumenical organization," says WCC general secretary, Rev. Dr Samuel Kobia, in a 5 March letter congratulating the Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) on the 50th anniversary of its founding.

Recalling that CCA was born fifty years ago at a conference organized in 1957 by the WCC and the International Missionary Council in Prapat, Indonesia, "Ever since then, the WCC has been a strong partner of the CCA," the letter says, and concludes: "May God enable you to accomplish the enormous task entrusted to you".
