Meeting every seven years, the assembly is the highest governing body of the World Council of Churches, to which all member churches are entitled to send delegates. The assembly receives reports on the work of the WCC during the preceding period, sets broad guidelines for the next seven years and elects from its membership a central committee to govern the Council until its next assembly. This volume includes the texts of the major addresses and of documents adopted by the delegates at the Eighth Assembly which was held in Harare in 1998. Also contained are summaries of discussions in plenary sessions and the revised WCC constitution and rules, as well as lists of assembly participants, the new central committee, and WCC member churches and associated councils. The report begins with an introduction to and analysis of this significant ecumenical event.
This reference book contains addresses and contact details for World Council of Churches (WCC) member churches, national councils of churches, regional ecumenical organizations, other regional and sub-regional fellowships, Christian world communions, specialized ministries and ecumenical agencies, international ecumenical organizations, other ecumenical bodies, communities and organizations, and WCC offices.
Included in this annually revised handbook are lists of the member churches of the World Council of Churches with addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers and e-mail addresses. Also included are lists of ecumenical bodies, specialized ecumenical organizations, and members of the WCC staff.
