Our congregation is evaluating the policy of the general council every year. This takes place during the ICB meeting in the Netherlands. Except this year. This year is a special year because the whole world is dealing with Covid-19. For everyone's safety it was decided not to travel but to speak to each other via video calling. This is done in three language and time groups:

• America (USA and Brazil)
• Asia (Indonesia, the Philippines and Timor Leste)
• Europe (Netherlands, Belgium and UK / Ireland).

The ICB officially starts on Tuesday November 3 and ends on Tuesday November 24.

It will be a whole new experience to discuss the topics with each other in this way and we hope for a fruitful meeting.
