Commission on Ecumenical Education and Formation

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.

The Commission on Ecumenical Education and Formation has thirty two members from WCC member churches all over the world and one consultant from the Roman Catholic Church.  On the commission, elected by the Central Committee in June 2023, men and women, ordained clergy and lay people are strongly represented. Twenty two percent of commissioners are young adults.
