International
Council of Community Churches |
The Council seeks to be an integral
partner in the
world wide ecumenical movement.
The Council seeks:
-
to be faithful to the prayer "that they may all be one"
-
to witness to the inclusive love of God that overcomes all divisions
-
to love and serve God, God's people and God's creation
-
to build toward a new world of peace
-
to affirm individual freedom of conscience
-
and to affirm communities of justice, mercy, and love
Organized in the United States in 1950 when two fellowships in the Community Church Movement joined in a historical merger. At the time, their joining represented the largest interracial merger of religious bodies in the country.
The stated purpose of the International Council is:
An international, intercultural, interracial fellowship of churches and ministry centers which seek to realize Christian unity in local, national, and world relations. The Council seeks fellowship, mutual support, and common ministries that reflect the unity of all who see themselves within the Christian tradition.
