Abstract
Abstract The article draws upon the author’s lived experience of working for the World Council of Churches for seven years as lead staff member in its interreligious office. She suggests that there were three different strands, all of which were important to keep in mind in order to enable the office to carry out its role successfully: seeking to resource and enable Christians to live and minister in our multireligious world; developing and sustaining long-term bilateral relationships with partners representing other faiths, and with organisations which are intentionally interreligious; working with partners of other faiths on matters of mutual concern, particularly related to issues of justice and peace. The article explores each of these strands, with examples offered of how each was practically exemplified in the interreligious office during the period when she held staff responsibility for its work.
