THE WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES (WCC)

The World Council of Churches is a fellowship of churches which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the scriptures, and therefore seek to fulfill together their common calling to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is a community of churches on the wayto visible unity in one faith and one Eucharistic fellowship. The WCC brings together 349 churches, denominations and church fellowships in more than 110 countries and territories throughout the world, representing over 560 million Christians and including most of the world's Orthodox churches, scores of denominations from such historic traditions of the Protestant Reformation as Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, and Reformed, as well as many united and independent churches. As members of this fellowship, WCC member churches:

• are called to the goal of visible unity in one faith and one Eucharistic fellowship;
• promote their common witness in work for mission and evangelism;
• engage in Christian service by serving human need, breaking down barriers between people,
  seeking justice and peace, and upholding the integrity of creation; and foster renewal in unity,
  worship, mission and service.
