US Conference Annual Meeting

Washington DC

 

The Annual Meeting of the United States Conference of the World Council of Churches was held this year on 2-4 December, 2008 in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. The theme of the Annual Meeting was Making Peace: Claiming God's Promise - Towards the International Ecumenical Peace Convocation, based on Jeremiah 6:14.  This meeting was strategically located in our nation's capitol, Washington, D.C., to provide an opportunity for WCC member churches in the US to deliver a message outlining hopes for the new administration in leading our nation forward and working for peace with justice.  In this context, heads of US member churches shared their concerns and their hopes in a special plenary session which highlighted our theme.
