Working with the World Council of Churches: A Personal Reflection

Author: 
The Revd Matthew Z. Ross

Rev Matthew Ross offers a personal reflection on time recently spent with the WCC leading projects related to diakonia which involved not only clarifying the theology and writing related documents but in developing processes for the furtherance of training for leadership in the Church’s service of the Gospel, which involved travel in many countries working with local churches. The article gives an up-to-date view of the WCC and its work today and confirms the importance of working at ecumenical relations.
