  “Walking together, serving justice and peace.” With this goal, the World Council of Churches, the worldwide organization focused on dialogue between the different Christian denominations, has reached the 70th anniversary of its founding in 1948. This year there will be a number of opportunities to look at the results of the work that has been carried out for Christian unity. At the same time, it will be an opportunity to renew the commitment toward the future challenge of full communion, to best respond to God’s calling for the unity of the human family, justice and world peace. Among the festivities, the Focolare Movement has organized an event on April 18 in Geneva, Switzerland in order to commemorate the rich collaboration between Chiara Lubich and the Focolare Movement with the World Council of Churches. The program includes a presentation by Pastor Olav Fykse Tveit, the secretary general of the council, and Jesús Morán, the co-president of the Focolare. For streaming see link
