For World Council of Churches 11th Assembly delegates and for other people around the world who want to get to the heart of the assembly, the WCC is offering a Resource Book full of both information and inspiration. WCC 11th Assembly symbol on the cover of the Resource book 15 August 2022 From essential practical details about the assembly, to a reflection on the assembly theme; from documents and reports to a user-friendly timetable, the Resource Book is a one-stop tool for those attending the assembly onsite in Karlsruhe or remotely online from their homes or churches.  In a preface, WCC acting general secretary Rev. Prof. Dr Ioan Sauca explains that the Resource Book links participants to a variety of important background documents about the many substantive matters that will engage the gathered fellowship at the WCC 11th Assembly.  “To that end, the Resource Book will function as a ready documentary reference and resource for assembly delegates as well as other participants,” writes Sauca. “It is hoped that this collection and the supplemental materials available online will inform and enliven reflection and discussion before and at the assembly and thereby illumine deliberations and decisions about the future of the WCC, its fellowship and its programmes.” The Resource Book will be available in four separate language editions in time for the assembly.
