Ecumenical and Evangelical World Leaders Meet, Discuss Unison, Code of Conduct on Conversion

The general secretary of the World Council of Churches (WCC), the Rev. Dr. Olav Fykse Tveit, and the international director of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), the Rev. Dr. Geoff Tunnicliffe, met last week to discuss their common concerns about efforts toward Christian unity.

The meeting was held at the Ecumenical Center in Geneva, Switzerland, where the WCC's headquarters are located, according to the Christian Today website.

The two leaders discussed areas of common interest and collaboration -- including mission and evangelism -- and the ongoing work on a code of conduct on conversion, which also involves the Roman Catholic Church.

Both leaders affirmed the continued support of the WCC and WEA for the relatively new Global Christian Forum as a platform providing opportunities for encounters and dialogue between Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, Protestant, Evangelical, Pentecostal, and the African Instituted Churches.
