The Commission on Ecumenical Education and Formation is the WCC's primary advisory body for the area of education, ecumenical formation and faith nurture, which was identified as a central priority during the WCC 9th Assembly in 2006. The commission develops priorities and methodologies in these areas, and fosters networking, exchange and collaboration among ecumenical institutions and experts in the area of ecumenical formation. Taking into account the spirit of the assembly, the commission was integrated with the board of the Ecumenical Institute Bossey.
