The commissions have been described as the four chambers of one&nbsp;heart, which seeks to link the global community of Anabaptist-related churches for fellowship, worship, service and witness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the commissions is comprised of a chairperson, a secretary (staff) and up to 10 members drawn from the MWC General Council. In addition, commissions can have up to five members selected for their specialist competencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissions prepare issues or materials for consideration by the General Council. Commissions give guidance and propose resources to MWC or member churches. Commissions also facilitate MWC-related networks or fellowships working together on matters of common interest and focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commissions work closely together in order to maintain and promote a holistic gospel and vision in the MWC community.
