CORRIGENDUM

Central Committee Press Release Number 6, in paragraph 6 - on the introduction of the final report of the Special Commission on Orthodox Participation in the WCC - there is an incorrect quotation from the report.   This should read as follows:

"common prayer as it has developed in the World Council of Churches has caused difficulty for some churches. In fact, it is in common prayer that the pain of Christian division is most acutely experienced."

We sincerely regret the error.

**********
The World Council of Churches (WCC) is a fellowship of churches, now 342, in more than 100 countries in all continents from virtually all Christian traditions. The Roman Catholic Church is not a member church but works cooperatively with the WCC. The highest governing body is the assembly, which meets approximately every seven years. The WCC was formally inaugurated in 1948 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Its staff is headed by general secretary Konrad Raiser from the Evangelical Church in Germany.
