English term or phrase: agencies (en este contexto)
Those actors outside Latin America included principally the WCC member churches in Europe and North America, but not exclusively, as well as their agencies.

Me resulta raro hablar de agencias, organizaciones..., ya que estamos hablando de iglesias...
Alguna sugerencia? Muchas gracias!

Explanation:
Se trata de una parte subordinada. Por ejemplo, en vez de la Iglesia Luterana, se habla del Consejo Coordinador de la Iglesia Luterana. Eso es solamente un ejemplo de lo que podría ser; no sé si la Iglesia Luterana de hecho está involucrada en el asunto.
