Diakonia

I skipped the 'confessional' meeting - 17 different groups representing the ecumenical breadth at the WCC Assembly - African United, Anglican, Baptist, Brethren, Disciples, Evangelical, Friends, Lutheran, Mar Thoma, Mennonites, Methodist, Moravian, Old Catholic, Orthodox, Pentecostal, Reformed, and Roman Catholic. Each held their own confessional meeting.
Instead, I met with Deaconess Emma Cantor, President, DIAKONIA Asia Pacific, to discuss planning for DIAKONIA World Assembly in 2017, planned to take place in Manila.
I also skipped the weekend visits, which took place in Seoul and Busan, and headed to Mok-Po for a visit with Diakonia Korea to spend time with the Sisters in the Diaconal community there. I'll write more about the visit on the DWF President Blogsite. A great story to tell!!
