Two current priorities are Promoting a Culture of Peace and Building Bridges of Hope. It is responsible for developing and maintaining relations with member churches, bodies in association and agencies. It is also responsible for the organisation of the Assembly, held every two years; the Church Representatives' Meetings held twice a year; and the Steering Committee, held four times a year. The General Secretary liaises with the General Secretaries of the national ecumenical bodies (ACTS, CYTUN, Churches Together in England and Irish ecumenical bodies) and other Councils of Churches, notably the Conference of European Churches and the World Council of Churches. |

Conference of European Churches (CEC) The Conference of European Churches (CEC) is the regional ecumenical organisation of the Orthodox, Anglican, Old Catholic and Protestant churches of Europe. It is one of the eight regional ecumenical organisations which together cover practically the whole world. The CEC is an autonomous body, though one which cooperates closely with the World Council of Churches (WCC). Its constant concern is to promote the unity of Christians and service to the community at large.. Website: http://www.cec-kek.org/ Email: cec@cec-kek.org |

World Council of Churches (WCC) The World Council of Churches (WCC) is an international fellowship of Christian churches, built upon the foundation of encounter, dialogue and collaboration. The WCC was formed to serve and advance the ecumenical movement - the quest for restoring the unity of the church - by encouraging in its members a common commitment to follow the gospel. The prayer of the churches which belong to the WCC is for the renewal and faithful response of the people of God in witness and service to the world. The WCC is a fellowship of churches, now 342 in more than 120 countries in all continents from virtually all christian traditions.
