World Council of Churches

A worldwide fellowship of churches seeking unity, a common witness and Christian service

Transforming Life, Volume 1

This publication presents the challenges posed by newly emerging technologies to people of faith. It is a discussion starter and wants to encourage urgently needed study and reflection by churches, theological faculties and ecumenical bodies in close cooperation with each other. The new technologies represent a new stage of development, which requires a fresh approach and change of perspective.
