CWME

From the website:

The contemporary missionary movement has been one of the major streams fostering ecumenism ever since the world mission conference in Edinburgh in 1910. When the International Missionary Council (IMC), one of the outcomes of Edinburgh, merged with the World Council of Churches in 1961, the programmatic work and responsibility of the IMC became entrusted to the WCC.

A three-fold structure was created within WCC as a consequence of the merger:

• a Conference on World Mission and Evangelism, usually meeting once in between two WCC assemblies
• a Commission on World Mission and Evangelism (CWME), meeting every 18 months
• a staff group working on matters related to CWME
