Lament, Hope and Courage
The annual review also shows the importance of standing together as a WCC fellowship on a foundation of hope built by reconciliation and peace-building.
"Strengthened by such faith and hope, we should not be afraid, we should not despair when we see what happens in our world today but confront it with courage." Rev. Prof. Dr Ioan Sauca, WCC Acting General Secretary
The annual review records many of the WCC’s activities undertaken in 2021 and continuing into 2022. It is now available to download online.
