The book is a collection of all the reports of 23 Ecumenical Conversations addressing different issues pertinent to the unity of churches and their common witness and service to the world.
It presents the deliberations and the ensuing affirmations and challenges that the participants saw as imperatives for the work of the WCC and the wider ecumenical movement in the 2023-2030 strategic period until the WCC 12th Assembly takes place.
The report from each conversation contains an abstract, short notes on the proceedings, and a list of key affirmations and challenges to guide the fellowship in reflecting and acting on the issues identified.
In the preface, WCC general secretary Rev. Prof. Dr Jerry Pillay writes that the Ecumenical Conversations created an opportunity for collective reflection. “This compilation puts a resource into our hands that will continue the ecumenical conversation as churches and their interfaith partners move together on the Pilgrimage of Justice, Reconciliation, and Unity in a fragmented world,” he writes.
Topics include creation justice, the churches’ role in health and healing, ecumenical diakonia, and many more.
