Over the years there have been a number of GCF events and gatherings that have produced important papers, discussion documents and articles which offer significant insight into a number of matters.

Many of these documents are available below. Except for the 2013 theological statement, ‘Our Unfolding Journey with Jesus Christ: Reflections on the Global Christian Forum Experience’ all are only available in English, as that is the language of their delivery. [‘Our Unfolding Journey’ is available in English, French and Spanish.]

Some of these document give a theological perspective on an issue or a concern to the GCF while others are reflections on the changing shape of world Christianity or on the nature of Christian unity, etc.

Below we have posted some of these papers and documents as a way of sharing their wisdom and insight. It is our hope that they will stimulate wider reflection and discussion on matters of great importance.
