| The
World Council of Churches (WCC)
is a fellowship of 342 churches in more than 100 countries
in all continents from virtually all Christian traditions.
The Roman Catholic Church is not a member church but works
cooperatively with the WCC. The highest governing body is
the Assembly, which meets approximately every seven years.
The WCC was formally inaugurated in 1948 in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands.
Action
by Churches Together (ACT)
is an international alliance of churches and relief agencies
assisting thousands of people recovering from emergencies
in
more than 50 countries worldwide.
Ecumenical
Advocacy Alliance
(EAA) is a global action network of churches and
church-related organizations who have pledged themselves
to change unjust policies and practices related to global
trade and HIV/AIDS. Participants speak out with one voice
against injustice and structures which deprive human beings
of dignity and for alternative visions based on the Gospel. |
