>>> Orthodox voices are heard but not always understood
A black-robed priest wanders slowly along the dazzling white walls of a
monastery, beneath a bright blue sky. This is the "postcard" image which
many western Christians have of the Orthodox world. The reality is much
richer and more varied. Eastern Christians represent a sizeable part of
Christianity, present in a great variety of contexts, often at the edges of
the "Christian world" and therefore in close contact with other religions,
notably Islam.

>>> Dans la jungle de l'ecclisiologie, comment iviter les tigres?
Le Conseil *cuminique des Eglises (COE) compte trois cent quarante-deux
Eglises membres. Mais, pour elles, qu'est-ce qu'une Eglise, et comment
chaque Eglise se situe-t-elle par rapport aux autres Eglises ? L'+
ecclisiologie ;, c'est pricisiment l'itude de ces questions et, si c'est
une prioccupation du COE, elle occupe surtout une place centrale dans les
activitis de Foi et constitution.

The World Council of Churches is a fellowship of churches, now 342, in more
than 120 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, Netherlands. Its staff is headed by
general secretary Samuel Kobia from the Methodist church in Kenya.
