More than 1,000 people representing churches around the world recently met in Arusha, Tanzania, for the World Council of Churches (WCC) Commission on World Mission and Evangelism (CWME) Conference, which is held every decade.
The attendees included a strong contingent from the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The participants explored the conference theme, “Moving in the Spirit: Called to Transforming Discipleship.”
The Conference on World Mission and Evangelism (CWME) — held in Arusha, Tanzania March 8-13 — officially closed with a “sending service” during which participants reflected on their call to discipleship and the significance of such a call in transforming mission in a world of pain, dislocation and turmoil.
The long-anticipated Conference on World Mission and Evangelism opened here today with African rhythms, almost 1,000 participants, storytelling, and a spirit of sharing that set the stage for the rest of the week.
