Gathering in Bogotá

Janet Scott reports on a recent Global Christian Forum

by Janet Scott 18th May 2018

In the final week of April the Global Christian Forum (GCF) met in Bogotá, the capital of Columbia. The Forum was founded twenty years ago at the instigation of the World Council of Churches (WCC) to bring together the churches traditionally involved in ecumenism with those previously not involved, primarily evangelical and Pentecostal churches. There were about 250 people present. Representing Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC), I was the only Quaker there.
