2953x1959
The Ecumenical Centre, headquarters of the World Council of Churches and location of offices of ten other international church bodies, was dedicated on July 11, 1965. The service received continent-wide coverage via Eurovision. The centre, built at a cost of $ 3'000'000 (£1'071'500) contributed by the WCC's member churches around the world, has been occupied by staff since Easter 1964, when office sections of the building were completed. Formal dedication, however, was delayed to coincide with a meeting of the WCC's Executive Committee which opens here tomorrow and pending completion of the chapel.
Guests at the reception were members of the diplomatic coprs, including heads of mission, consular officers, officials of the United Nations and the specialised agencies, Geneva City and cantonal officials, church and international ecumenical organisation leaders.
