by Janet Scott 6th July 2018

It is seventy years since the World Council of Churches (WCC) was formed in Amsterdam in 1948, one of several organisations that, following the second world war, aimed to bring about peace and reconciliation. The Council is made up of national churches, Protestant and Orthodox. The Roman Catholic Church, being international, is not a member but collaborates in the work.
