God's diplomat, the pope of the ecumenical movement, but also an
acerbic theologian and a difficult person: this is how journalists
characterised Willem Adolf Visser 't Hooft (1900-1985). He was one
of the best-known Dutch theologians outside the Netherlands and he
left his mark on the world church. Even at an early age, he made
profound efforts in support of international ecumenical youth and
student organisations (Dutch Student Christian Movement, YMCA and
World Student Christian Federation). He led the World Council of
Churches during its formative stages (from 1938), and after its
formal establishment in 1948 became its first general secretary,
serving until 1966. To Visser 't Hooft, the unity of the church was
both an article of faith and a pragmatic organisation of church
influence in a disunited world.
