The head of the World Council of Churches has reached out to a global gathering of Evangelicals, saying Christians of different traditions need to learn from each other to participate together in God's mission. Rev Olav Fykse Tveit said ‘We are called to be one, to be reconciled, so that the world may believe that God reconciles the world to himself in Christ. This historic invitation is a sign that God has called all of us to the ministry of reconciliation and to evangelism.’ The WCC and the Lausanne Movement have often been seen as representing different strands of Christianity - the WCC being seen as focusing more on social action, and the Lausanne movement known for its promotion of evangelism.

Pray: that the prayer of Jesus for His people to be united will be fulfilled at this time globally. (Jn.17:21-22)
