The publication presents the Pilgrimage of Justice, Reconciliation, and Unity in progress—a pilgrimage that brings active hope even amid global trends that have brought incalculable human suffering. 

We hope these pages will show the ways in which Christians and Christian churches are living their ecumenical fellowship today—the ways in which we unite our worldwide fellowship of churches not only around our shared Christian faith, which remains our vital centre, but also in the specific interests of justice, love, peace, and hope,” writes WCC general secretary Rev. Prof. Dr Jerry Pillay in an opening message. That is faiths imperative, our clear vocation, and Gods mission in the world.

The annual review also shows how WCC member churches have been standing up for truth, siding with the poor, and holding out hope amid injustices and suffering.

We continue to walk toward healing, forgiveness, and reconciliation,” writes Pillay.

The currently available edition of the 2024 Annual Review is the predecessor to a final version that will be produced in the coming weeks.
