Jacksonville, Florida, USA, July 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The appointment of Bishop Dr. Thomas Schirmacher as Ambassador of the Global Christian Forum marks a significant step forward for the Continuing Evangelical Congregation in its mission to promote unity and engagement of the Church worldwide. With a wealth of experience, including as outgoing Secretary General of the World Evangelical Alliance, Bishop Schirmacher brings a wealth of knowledge and ecumenical spirit to the Forum.
The Global Christian Forum is a joint effort of the World Evangelical Alliance, the Vatican, the World Council of Churches and the Pentecostal World Fellowship.

The GCF is a platform for dialogue and mutual understanding that reflects both the fundamental teachings of the Nicene Creed and the desire for unity expressed in John 17. This initiative reflects our commitment to addressing common challenges and advancing a shared vision of the global Christian community.”
The Global Christian Forum is recognized for its unique role in bringing together the various Christian churches and organizations, thereby promoting unity among the world’s Christian denominations. GCF’s commitment to mutual respect and understanding and addressing common challenges makes it a key space for ecumenical engagement.

Accepting CEEC.CHURCH as a key partner reflects both GCF’s Christ-centered approach to partnership and CEEC.CHURCH’s growing influence in the global Christian community. This partnership demonstrates the vibrant collaborative spirit that GCF promotes to bridge divisions and heal divisions within Christianity.
In April 2024, Bishop Schirmacher spoke for the third time at the Global Christian Forum, the “Global Gathering,” held in Accra, Ghana. He considered the GCF to be, in fact, “a unique gathering of Christian churches and organizations around the world, bringing together all the major streams of world Christianity.”
“We share a common belief in Jesus Christ as the salvation of the world. Therefore, it is very important to study together all aspects of this faith,” he said in a speech on the second day of the conference.

Our unique identity and self-understanding is rooted in the spiritual traditions of the Episcopal Communion, which are Catholic, Evangelical and Protestant.
