As the next General Assembly of the World Council of Church (WCC) approaches some Orthodox missiologists have been reflecting on the WCC and particularly its understanding of mission. The General Assembly will be held in Busan, Korea, from 30 October – 8 November and one of the major documents to be considered will be their new policy statement on mission “Together towards life: Mission and Evangelism in Changing Landscapes“.
In preparation for the discussions in Pusan many responses to this document have been written. Three by Orthodox leaders, including one by a member of the LOI Steering Group, Archpriest Vladimir Fedorov (pictured), may be of interest and are available for download here.
