Résumé : |
"GOD OF LIFE, LEAD US TO JUSTICE AND PEACE": Under this theme, the 10th Assembly of the World Council of Churches drew 3500 registrants and thousands of other visitors from 100 countries to Busan, Republic of Korea. There participants gathered for ten celebratory days of vibrant worship, Bible study, intense discussion, and stirring calls for Christian commitment to justice and peace.
This volume not only records the essential business and actions of the assembly. It also captures the intellectual and religious energy of the assembly's key presentations, discussions, and statements Six plenary sessions offered expertise and religious discernment on Christianity in Asia, the assembly theme, and specific issues of unity and witness, peace and justice around the globe. Its 21 "ecumenical conversations" delved into the most pressing questions facing Christians and Christian churches today— from a radically altered religious landscape to a globalized yet lopsided economy, to climate change and gender violence, to important new ecumenical insights about mission, the church, spirituality, and Christian service. As this indispensable reference attests, the 10th Assembly of the WCC was more than a testament to Christian unity extending far beyond even the 345 member churches of the WCC fellowship. It also shaped an engaged ecumenical future for Christian churches everywhere. |
