Message from the Just Community of Women and Men Pre-Assembly Meeting

From the time of its 1st Assembly in Amsterdam in 1948, the World Council of Churches (WCC) has worked in multiple ways to foster a just community of women and men in church and society. This process continued as Christians gathered 29–30 August 2022 for the Just Community of Women and Men (JCWM) pre-assembly to the WCC’s 11th Assembly in Karlsruhe, Germany. Through Bible study, liturgy, workshops, and presentations, participants explored the assembly’s theme through the lens of gender justice, identifying avenues for reconciliation and collaboration.
