The multi-cultural and multi-faith realities Christians live in today confronts them, in their witness and praxis, with common challenges along with on-going differences among various Christian confessions. In a world of post-modern values and concepts, the voice of the churches remains often unheard and is hardly understood. In these contexts, the faithful members of the congregations across all confessions are getting aged and their number decreases. Other faith communities living in such contexts go through a similar experience. The main missionary and pastoral challenge is how to share the faith with younger generations so that they hear, understand and find in it meaning and fulfilment for their lives. The WCC-Ecumenical Continuing Formation seminar "Sharing the Faith in a Multi-cultural and Multi-faith World" was designed with young people to equip participants with a shared vision and new approaches to address this challenge.
On 8 August, participants visited the Ecumenical Centre in Geneva, where the WCC has its offices. Guided tour with Rev. Dr Martin Robra.
