Rowena Loverance, assistant clerk of Quaker Committee for Christian and Interfaith Relations (QCCIR), spoke to their annual report. She explained that QCCIR reports to Meeting for Sufferings every year, but this is the first time under the committee’s new set of terms of reference.

Douglas Butterfield and Ben Wood talked about QCCIR’s response to the World Council of Churches (WCC) report The Church, Towards a Common Vision, which Ben described as ‘a very difficult, very challenging document’ and ‘doctrinally complex’.
