The meeting is hosted by the Indonesian Communion of Churches and supported by the government of North Sulawesi. During this meeting, the commission is anticipated to select vice-moderators and lay the foundation for its future endeavours.

Fruitful results of the study processes that took place in the previous period, in light of current challenges in the ecumenical movement, contribute to a particular momentum for the commission. The meeting will provide an opportunity to reflect on these and establish the grounds for future work that will address the needs and challenges of the present-day world, as the commission works on fulfilling its vocation to assist the churches as they call one another to visible unity.”

In addition to that, the commission is in the planning stages for Nicaea 2025, the historic sixth world conference, which is scheduled to take place in October 2025.
