[Dialogue] Ecumenical Institute at Bossley, Switzerland

[Al Lingo]

 Karen,
The Ecumenical Institute at Chateau Bossey near Celigny Switzerland was the first such institute established by the World Council of Churches and offered trainings for church persons from across the world.  I first studied there as theological student in August of 1959, and am very grateful for having had that experience.
I did look up their web page, http://www.oikoumene.org/en/activities/bossey.html, and expect that they may still be quite a resourceful center in the life of the church.  Enjoy your reading and learning more about their current program.
Charles

Anyone know any more about this organization?  Their website says it was started in 1946.  Were they in any way related to "us"?  I know "we" had some sort of commission from the World Council of Churches in the '60s.
