The International Institute for Religious Freedom (IIRF) published the whole launch session in Geneva, 28th June 2011, plus several interviews with key players in its YouTube Channel.
On June 28, 2011, in Geneva, the Vatican’s Pontifical Council on Inter-religious Dialogue (PCID), the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), together representing most of Christianity, for the first time ever released a joint document, “Christian Witness in a Multi-Religious World: Recommendations for Conduct.” It discusses the ethics of mission, stating that Christian mission never can violate the human rights of others. This historic document is the result of a five-year collaboration among the WEA, the WCC and the Vatican. The document meanwhile has been accepted by the same group of churches in many countries of the world.
