| Summary: | A consultation commemorating the 20th anniversary of the culmination of the Ecumenical Decade of the Churches in Solidarity with Women took place in Kingston, Jamaica, in October 2018 to reflect on the achievements and challenges in building a just community of all people in church and society, and to strengthen ecumenical collaboration in reading the signs of the times. The Decade was launched in 1988, following a decision of the central committee of the World Council of Churches (WCC). It was "addressed to churches and to women at the local level to empower women to challenge structures and to respond to the issues in the society around them" and focused on "the situation of women in the churches as well as the churches' participation in improving the conditions for women in society." It concluded in December 1998 with a festival held in Harare, Zimbabwe, immediately before the WCC's 8th Assembly. The global consultation in October 2018, hosted by the Jamaica Council of Churches, gathered intergenerational women and men from WCC member churches and their theological institutions and ecumenical partners. Below we document several of the contributions at the Jamaica consultation as well as the report of the event. |
