Call for articles of younger theologians and researchers -
Welcome to contribute to the Ecumenical Review!

Ecumenical Review: Call for Articles from younger theologians and researchers to mark the WCC's 70th anniversary — World Council of Churches The World Council of Churches is seeking articles from students of theology, younger theologians and early career researchers – ordained or lay – for a special issue of its quarterly journal, The Ecumenical Review, to mark the WCC's 70th anniversary.

“The theme of ’Translating the Word, Transforming the World’ expresses both a theological aspect to the theme, and a more practically oriented one. This has a particular significance for young people who seek to show how they are engaged and committed to this world, and in helping to make it a better place,” says Amélé Ekué, WCC programme executive for Ecumenical Theological Education and one of the organizers of GETI 2018.

On 7 March, students of GETI 2018 planted trees as part of a Service Learning day in their study programme. The trees mark a symbol of unity, and of working together for a greener planet, and a sustainable future.

“While planting these 12 trees may not be a big deal for the planet as a whole, this event helps make us aware that we are caretakers of the world that God has given us,” reflected one of the GETI students.
