Birth of the Great Commission Roundtable
Through the gracious working of God's Spirit, this kind of unity is beginning to develop on a global level. In March, 1999, 90 men and women leaders from many of the world's evangelical movements and networks came together
in Hurdal, Norway to create a new cooperative vehicle for world evangelization in the 21st century. Following a moving time of repentance and reconciliation that cleared up past misunderstandings between leaders of the
Lausanne Movement, AD2000 Movement and World Evangelical Fellowship, the participants agreed that a new global forum, a "network of networks," should be formed. The name of this new venture in collaborative Christian
mission is the Great Commission Roundtable (GCR). It is a unique, global partnership that is open to all segments of the Body of Christ and facilitates collaboration among international, regional and functional networks towards the
discipling of all peoples in response to Christ's Great Commission.
