Ecumenical Meeting Celebrated in New Orleans

The National Council of Churches and the Church World Service capped a year of ecumenical anniversary celebrations with their annual general assembly November 9-11 at the New Orleans Marriott, welcoming religious leaders from the United States and around the world. The meeting marked the 100th anniversary of the 1910 World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, an event held by many to be the beginning of the modern ecumenical movement.
