The purpose of the Global Institute of Theology is to give theological students and faculty from all over the world the opportunity to learn, teach, and do theology in an inter-contextual and ecumenical way, situating the theological task in local, regional, and world contexts. Through the Global Institute of Theology, the World Alliance intends to strengthen its ties with theological institutions related to its member churches as well as facilitate further communication and cooperation among theological schools from different regions of the world. Significant aspects of the institute such as the recruitment of prospective students, securing the financial resources necessary to enable students from countries in the South to participate, and the general academic requirements for its operation will be considered in consultation with supporting theological institutions. The World Alliance is submitting three requests to theological institutions related to WARC/REC member churches: 1. That each school pray for the work of the Global Institute of Theology; 2. That each school approached appoint up to three students to attend the institute, and if necessary facilitate their participation; 3. That each school approached by WARC help to facilitate the participation of Reformed students from the South.
