The World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) is investigating concerns relating to moral character and governance in its leadership following allegations made by an anonymous whistleblower, published by the Christian Council of Korea (CCK).

The CCK is not a WEA member but has called on it to cancel its upcoming General Assembly in Seoul this Autumn in light of the problems raised. The whistleblower documents allege problems relating to how the WEA deals with organisations of other faiths and the theological positions of its leaders, as well as issues concerning governance, accountability and morality.

Following the levelling of accusations, the CCK claimed that the WEA General Assembly Organising Committee rejected a request to meet to discuss whether the assembly was a force for good or not, in light of what has been alleged, and subsequently called for the event to be cancelled.
