A call for Christian mission work to promote “non-aggressive” evangelism and for traditional denominations to find new ways of working with Pentecostal and charismatic movements has been made by the World Council of Churches general secretary, the Rev. Samuel Kobia. “It is of particular urgency that mission be understood and practiced in a way which does not lead to an increase of hatred and violence,” Kobia said, speaking in Edinburgh during a 12-day visit to Britain and Ireland. “That’s one of the reasons we are involved with the Roman Catholic, Evangelical and Pentecostal churches in searching for a code of conduct on conversion.” (Ecumenical News International)
