Materials

There are a number of documents coming online which will also be available in hard copy at the Council. We are attempting to both save the environment and costs so are purposefully not mailing documents for this Council (following the example set by the World Council of Churches at its last Assembly in Busan). We highly recommend that, if possible, you travel with an electronic device that allows you to access all documents so that we can continue to save on printing while at the Council.

  • Practical Guide: This contains logistical information for your time at the Council.
  • Workbook: This contains the business work of the Council, including background papers and proposals, the proposed amendments to the Constitution & Bylaws and the Council’s proposed Rules of Order.
  • From Grand Rapids to Leipzig: This is an overview of the activities and work of the organization over the last seven years.
  • Website: The WCRC website (wcrc.ch) contains all these documents, as well as news and additional information; Council-related materials are translated into six languages (English, French, German, Indonesian, Korean and Spanish) while important news will also appear in Arabic and Mandarin. To access the various languages, simply select the language of your choice from the far right of the menu bar; this can be done from any page (and if that page is not translated into the language of your choice, you will be redirected to the homepage).
