WCC staff to gather for planning days, focus on “Journeying together with God”

Staff Planning Days normally take place annually in February or March, then again in October. This week, the focus will be on implementation, collaboration, reporting on 2023, and moving to Kyoto, the building in the Green Village that will temporarily house the WCC. 

The theme of the week is inspired by Judges 18:1-6, which reads, “Then they said to him, ‘Inquire of God that we may know whether the mission we are undertaking will succeed.’ The priest replied, ‘Go in peace. The mission you are on is under the eye of the Lord.’”

Staff will spend time praying, pausing, reflecting, inspiring, collaborating and discerning together as they work on implementing the WCC 2023-2030 Strategic Plan. Together, staff will reflect on how their work contributes to achieving the WCC Strategic Plan and engaging member churches, ecumenical regional organisations and ecumenical partners on a Pilgrimage of Justice, Reconciliation, and Unity.

In this time of lent, we invite you to pray for us and with us as we all seek to journey together with God in these difficult and challenging times in the world.
