Where now for visible unity? This is a question posed by the World Council of Churches' Faith and Order Commission at its Sixth World Conference, held at the Papal Logos Centre in Wadi El Natrun, Egypt, from October 24 to 29, 2025.
Based on this question, participants are exploring various Ecumenical issues via dialogue sessions and workshops. Through research papers, they are rediscovering Christian unity, discussing the challenges it faces, and ways to strengthen it across different cultures and traditions.
This conference comes at a time when the world is experiencing divisions, conflicts, and a wave of hate speech, injustice, and oppression. Therefore, its events seek to rediscover Christian unity based on the importance of defending the oppressed and marginalized and working to spread the values of love, fraternity, and dialogue.
