diakonia
& solidarity's work in the regions
|
|
our
priorities
To recognize and
respond appropriately to the reality of each region: This involves
analyzing and interpreting these realities - political, economic
socio-cultural and ecclesial; helping WCC staff and member churches
to understand, value and respond to regional diversity;
collaborating with national councils of churches, regional ecumenical
organizations and other ecumenical bodies around regional priorities.
To promote sharing
within and between regions through regional groups and round
tables, through biblical reflection on sharing, and through mediating
between churches where broken relationships are apparent.
|
To facilitate human
resources development in the churches and other ecumenical partners
in the regions by promoting gender analysis, leadership development, self-reliance
and, in cooperation with Action by Churches Together (ACT), emergency-preparedness
and response.
To equip churches
and church-related bodies in each region to help communities -
including people in crisis situations and those whose daily life is a
struggle to survive - to become sustainable. This work involves
regional networking and advocacy, mediating between communities and regions
in conflict, and helping churches to act as responsible partners in society.
