Sažetak
The work with an introduction and concluding thoughts has two chapters. In the first chapter titled “Briefly about the Creation and Work of the Church's Ecumenical Council”, we describe the beginning and development of this important ecumenical council on a global scale, and we also produce a list of all ten world conferences held from 1948 to 2013. The second chapter of the paper has the title “Themes of Relationships Created at World Conferences of the Ecumenical Council of Churches”. It speaks of the main ecological topics, accents, incentives and warnings at some of the world's conferences of the Church's Ecumenical Council. The World Ecumenical Assembly in Seoul in 1990 was a decisive incentive for ecological issues, and for the first time the Ecumenical Council of Churches directly talks about the created world and ecology at the 7th World Assembly in Canberra in 1991. Of course, the Eighth World Assembly in Harare in 1998, the ninth in Porto Alegre in 2006, and finally, the tenth World Assembly in Busan, in 2013, deal with more or less the same theme. At the end of the paper, we also issued the Climate Justice Declaration of the Executive Board of the Church's Ecumenical Council of 2016 and a short list of the chosen bibliography of the created in the edition of the same council.
