World Council of Churches

The World Council of Churches (WCC) is an international organization founded in 1948 that promotes unity and cooperation among Christian denominations. It includes a wide range of churches from various traditions, aiming to foster dialogue, share resources, and work together on issues such as social justice, peace, and human rights. The WCC encourages its member churches to collaborate in addressing global challenges and emphasizes the importance of ecumenism—bringing together different Christian communities to strengthen their collective witness and mission in the world.
