TEMOIGNAGE ET ACTION DES CHRETIENS EN FAVEUR DE LA DIGNITE HUMAINE ET DES DROITS HUMAINS (déclaration)

L’Esprit du Seigneur est sur moi

parce qu’il m’a conféré l’onction

pour annoncer la Bonne Nouvelle aux pauvres.

Il m’a envoyé proclamer aux captifs la libération

et aux aveugles le retour à la vue,

renvoyer les opprimés en liberté,

proclamer une année d’accueil par le Seigneur.

(Luc 4:18-19)

Le contexte mondial actuel est marqué par l'escalade des conflits, les divisions, les inégalités, la résurgence du racisme, les attaques xénophobes contre les migrants, l'antisémitisme, les violations des droits des femmes et d'autres formes de discrimination, les menaces contre les défenseur-e-s des droits humains, ainsi que l'autoritarisme, le nationalisme populiste et les formes d'extrémisme religieux et autres, qui mettent gravement en péril la sécurité physique et la dignité et les droits humains de diverses communautés et personnes dans le monde.

Towards a Global Vision of the Church Volume I

Explorations on Global Christianity and Ecclesiology, Faith and Order Paper 234

 As a part of the reception process of the convergence document The Church: Towards a Common Vision (TCTCV), the ecclesiology study group of the WCC Commission on Faith and Order undertook a wide range of conversations on global Christianity and ecclesiology. This  included perspectives from various regions (especially Asia, Africa, and Latin America), denominational families (such as evangelical, Pentecostal, Charismatic, and independent churches), and forms of being church (such as ecclesial movements, new forms of monasticism, and online churches) which have not always been clearly or strongly represented in the discussions on the way to TCTCV. 

This first of two volumes offers a taste of the insights, contributions, lively dialogue, diverse perspectives, and mutual exchange of ecumenical gifts between the members of the commission and theologians from  around the world, which took place through a series of international consultations between 2015-22.

The fruit of this work is offered with the hope that it will contribute towards a clearer, global vision of the Church in the 21st century.

Christian Witness and Action for Human Dignity and Human Rights (statement)

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,

because he has anointed me

to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives

and recovery of sight to the blind,

to let the oppressed go free,

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.

(Luke 4:18-19)

The current global context is marked by escalating conflicts, divisions, inequalities, resurgent racism, xenophobic attacks on migrants, antisemitism, violations of the rights of women and other forms of discrimination, threats against human rights defenders, as well as authoritarianism, populist nationalism, and religious and other forms of extremism, that threaten grave peril for the physical security and human dignity and rights of diverse communities and individuals around the world.

How a meeting place became a sacred space

Two years ago, Andrés Pacheco Lozano defended his PhD. The title of his research was “Pilgrimage of Reconciliation: Relationship Between Communitarian Bible Reading.” Now, it was time to celebrate with a mini symposium "Communities of Faith Reading the Bible Across Cultures: A Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace.” For two days, 24 and 25 October, participants reflected on contextual and intercultural Bible reading at the Singelkerk and the Free University in Amsterdam.
