IMWAC Treffen in Wien

Eingeladen sind WsK-Mitglieder und die Chefs der anderen Reformgruppen als „Beobachter“.

Es handelt sich um die zweijährig stattfindende Tagung der IMWAC-Delegierten.

Was wir dabei tun müssen:

A. report on our past activity. How much evaluation can be done in the time available is debatable.
B. critically but positively evaluate our human, administrative and financial resources.
C. share where we anticipate the institutional church is going and make a list of activities the We Are

Church movement should engage in (Hopes and Dreams)
D. find the Coordinating Team for 2015-2016.
E. decide what is going to be carried out within countries and what will be done internationally with

the financial and human resources available.

F. Celebrate spiritually and socially to give us strength for the journey.

Die Tagung ist in Englisch. Natürlich gibt es genügend Seitengespräch auch in Deutsch. Auch eine zeitweise Teilnahme ist möglich.
