The Season of Creation is an annual Christian celebration uniting believers worldwide in prayer and action for our common home. Observed from 1 September, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, to 4 October, the Feast of St Francis of Assisi, this season invites the global Christian community to reflect on the importance of environmental stewardship grounded in faith. It is a time to deepen our spiritual connection with creation, advocate for climate justice, and commit to sustainable community practices.

World Council of Churches (WCC) invites people and churches all over the world to pray, advocate, and stand in solidarity with people in the Holy Land during the World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel, to be observed on 16-22 September 2024.

The World Council of Churches’ Ecumenical Institute at Bossey cordially invites emerging and senior scholars from diverse Christian traditions to participate in an international conference focusing on the ecumenical significance of the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea (325 CE) and its relevance in today’s rapidly changing world.

The 25-person Executive Committee is the WCC governing body, with members from churches in every region. It meets twice a year to monitor ongoing work, supervise the budget and deal with policy matters referred to it by the Central Committee.

The Central Committee serves as the chief governing body of the WCC until the next assembly, meeting every 2 years. It is responsible for carrying out the policies adopted by the Assembly, reviewing and supervising WCC programmes and the budget of the Council.
