Introducing the World Council of Churches (Risk Books) - Tapa blanda

What is the World Council of Churches? This illustrated introduction answers that question. It explores the WCC's nature as a 'fellowship of churches', the areas and concerns which are the focus of the Council's programmes, the major events of its history, the contribution it has made to Christian thought, and its relations with churches and other organizations. The final chapter asks whether the World Council really matters, and includes discussion of criticisms levelled against it.

the late Marlin VanElderen was Executive Editor of the World Council of Churches.
