Delegates to a World Council of Churches gathering have noted Christianity's significant growth in the global South, and the need for better partnerships.
World Council of Churches' mission delegates have spent half a day with a community living at a garbage dumpsite on the outskirts of Manila, Philippines.
Some 300 global church leaders will be gathering in Manila from 22 to 27 March for a pre-assembly of the WCC Commission on World Mission and Evangelism.
