World Council of Churches Assembly

The World Council of Churches Assembly is a major gathering of Protestant, Anglican, Orthodox, and other Christian church representatives from around the world, held approximately every eight years. It serves as a platform for discussing shared faith concerns, promoting unity, and addressing social issues. The assembly fosters dialogue, prayer, and collective action among diverse Christian communities, aiming to strengthen their witness and cooperation globally. It’s a significant event for advancing ecumenism—working toward greater unity among different Christian traditions—while addressing global challenges through faith-based perspectives.
