The commission will go through programme reports of its three working groups and the Ecumenical Disability Advocates Network, and will also reflect on its future. The meeting will highlight some possible orientations and guidelines as well as insights gained especially in the Conference on World Mission and Evangelism in Arusha, Tanzania in 2018, and through experiences of churches and mission organisations gained during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since the Arusha Conference in 2018, all three of the commissions working groups have produced a study document, and these papers, together with a slightly earlier Ecumenical Disability Advocates Network document, have been edited into a single volume. This publication, a fruit of the commissions work from 2018-2021, will be launched online during the November meeting.
