Armenian Church
The Armenian Church will participate in the 10th Assembly of World
Council of Churches.
The 10th Assembly of the World Council of Churches (WCC) begins at the
end of October and promises to be one of the most diverse gathering
of Christians in the world.
The assembly will be an opportunity for renewing the worldwide
ecumenical movement - infusing it with honesty, humility and hope,
according to the WCC general secretary.
As to why this is the case, Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, WCC general
secretary, and a Lutheran pastor from the Church of Norway says,
it is "through humility, honesty and hope that we can live together
as humanity and a Church in a world, where justice and peace are
fundamental initiatives and not merely words."
The theme of the WCC assembly is a prayer "God of life, lead us to
justice and peace".
The assembly will take place from 30 October to 8 November in Busan,
Republic of Korea.
It will bring around 3,000 participants from Asia, Pacific, Africa,
Europe, Middle East, North America and Latin America, including a
large number of young people and several thousand Korean Christians.
