The gathering will host representatives from the church’s partner organizations around the world from countries such as Japan, Taiwan, Angola, Cambodia, and Colombia.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear updates from more than 40 partner churches and organizations, share experiences, and learn together about contemporary mission work and available tools. The theme of the meeting is “Your Will Be Done – Church and Mission in Changing Landscapes.”
Pillay will present a keynote speech reflecting on the consultation theme.
Nalwamba will present a lecture entitled “Creation in Changing Landscapes,” reflecting on how environmental crises are not just scientific or political issues but are deeply theological concerns.
