World Church Leadership Council (Community Of Christ)
The World Church Leadership Council is a leadership body of the Community of Christ. It encompasses the First Presidency, the Council of Twelve Apostles, and the Presiding Bishopric. The group convenes at the church headquarters in the Independence temple. With the adoption of a sweeping new set of church bylaws at the 2002 World Conference, this body replaced the predecessor council known as the Joint Council. Bylaw provisions allow for additional members to be added to the World Church Leadership Council.

Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
