World Council Of Churches


International organization that aims to bring together Christians of different denominations. Established in 1948, it has a membership of more than 100 countries and more than 300 churches, including the Orthodox, Anglican, and Methodist churches. Its headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland.

The supreme governing body, the assembly, meets every seven or eight years to frame policy. A 150-member central committee meets once a year and a 22-member executive committee twice a year.
