Zusammenfassung:This article marks the 40th year of including statistical information on World Christianity and mission in the International Bulletin of Mission Research. This year’s focus is on organizations that address the global fragmentation of Christianity by promoting dialogue among Christians. We identify here some of the larger umbrella organizations that seek to represent or bring together portions of four traditions (Catholics, Independents, Orthodox, Protestants), two movements within these traditions (Evangelicals, Pentecostals/Charismatics), and 47,000 denominations. These include the World Council of Churches, the World Evangelical Alliance, the Lausanne Movement, the World Pentecostal Fellowship, Empowered21, and the Global Christian Forum.
