How We Work

The NCCA gathers together Churches and Christian communities which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures. We commit to deepen our relationship with each other and to work together towards the fulfilment of common witness, proclamation and service, to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The World Council of Churches, together with the Anglican Communion, Lutheran World Federation, World Communion of Reformed Churches, World Methodist Council, and Middle East Council of Churches, is organizing an ecumenical conference that will continue the historic conversation begun in March 2024 about establishing “Creation Day” (1 September) as a liturgical feast/festival in Western denominations.

The ecumenical conference in Assisi will explore the potential of establishing Creation Day as a liturgical feast on 1 September in light of the 1700th anniversary of Nicaea, grounding discussions in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed’s proclamation of our faith in the Triune God as Creator.

The conference will also be enriched by the 800th anniversary celebrations of the Franciscan “Canticle of the Creatures” in Assisi.

Start and End Dates: 5 – 7 May 2025

Location: Hybrid format (in-person and online)

In-person: Cittadella Laudato Si’, Via degli Ancaiani 3, Assisi, Italy

Online: Via Zoom

Resources:
