Courage to work together

Courage is what is needed from us at this point in time. This is one of the thoughts that stuck with me from the 2025 Working Together meeting of WCC.

WCC Annual Review 2024

Pursuing Peace Together

The WCC Annual Review 2024: Pursuing Peace Together presents the Pilgrimage of Justice, Reconciliation, and Unity in progress. This pilgrimage 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. 

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.
