Home About Us Courier WCC Publications ... Ike Photos Our History . . . We were born out of a desire for visible unity and peace. Evanston, 1954: Ike and Wim. The United States office of the World Council of Churches was actually born before its parent. The parent body, the WCC, was formally launched in 1948 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Fifteen years earlier, in May 1933, two US churchmen were among 10 persons who gathered in the home of William Temple , the Archbishop of York, to discuss the formation of a worldwide ecumenical organization. The meeting was held at the suggestion of William Adams Brown of New York's Union Seminary and US Presbyterian Samuel McCrea Cavert suggested the evolving body be named "World Council of Churches," and so it became. In Utrecht five years later a provisional committee for the "World Council of Churches in Process of Formation" was held and Henry Smith Leiper was named to carry out the work of the emerging organization in the US the first executive director of the United States office. It was the intention of the founding parents that the World Council of Churches would be born in 1938. By then international tensions were already paralyzing ecumenical impulses and when the second world war erupted in Europe in September 1939, the birth was indefinitely postponed. In the meantime, many documents of the WCC in Process of Formation were safely deposited in the US office in New York until peace was declared in August 1945. By the time the Council was birthed in 1948, its US office was already a decade old.

Letter of Appeal APPEAL TO THE CHURCHES To Seek God’s Beloved Community In January of 2002, during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, nine Christian communions will inaugurate a new relationship with each other called Churches Uniting in Christ. As the first step in this journey toward unity, we issue this appeal to every member of our churches, “that we all may be one” (John 17:22). The struggle for unity among the races and among the churches has a common denominator: racism. To envision unity, without addressing racism, is to ignore our history in North America and deny the insidious nature of that which divides us. If we are to overcome both the sin of disunity, including the sin of racism, then we must hold a common vision of God’s Beloved Community: a community in which all people and their particular gifts are included, respected and valued; a community that seeks alternatives to violence to settle its differences;

Restoring Creation for Ecology and Justice Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Statement on Global Climate Change an excerpt from the 1990 General Assembly policy paper 5. Area Five: Overcoming Atmospheric Instability - Global Warming and Ozone Depletion. Background information on ozone depletion and global warming may be found in Part I of this report, in "Keeping and Healing the Creation," pp. 21-25, and in Church and Society Magazine (March/April 1990). We note that the phenomena determining climate are very complex and that scientific opinion varies with respect to the reliability of models projecting temperature increases. The weight of evidence, however, justifies a serious response to the threat of global warming. Ozone depletion and global warming have risen rapidly to head the list of concerns about the future of creation. They are significantly different from other problems in several respects. They have to do with global problems that lie ahead and cannot now be measured. No place on earth will be unaffected, however. Without united action worldwide, no nation can do much about global warming and ozone depletion. They represent the unintended consequences of proud industrial achievements. The gases released were not toxic. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have had all sorts of beneficial uses, and we breathe air with CO in it. Now in the upper atmosphere these gases are doing enormous damage. But we cannot get them down again. We can only stop sending them up and thereby limit the damage.

The good news is this : God has made a way for the pain and self-centeredness of people to be removed forever. That way is through the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Any man, woman, young person or child who begins to understand that God loves them, even though they deliberately choose to think and do wrong things, may turn to Jesus and find forgiveness and the help to change. God is able to forgive anyone who comes to Him because, in His death, Jesus personally suffered every person's punishment for wrongdoing. That's why He is called the Savior of the world. His resurrection, on the other hand, is proof that God is not only able to forgive but to remake a person's life.

52. The General Fundamentals Of New Plimouth or Equity of some express Law of the general Court of and Order of the Gospel, wherebythere are many churches gathered amongst us, walking according http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/users/deetz/Plymouth/fund.html

The Plymouth Colony Archive Project The General Fundamentals of New Plimouth Introduction In the period from 1636 to 1671, the Plymouth colonists formulated a series of laws which they later compiled into a declaration called "The General Fundamentals." This declaration has often been viewed by historians as one of the earliest forms of a demand for representative government and individual rights in the American colonies. This hypertext version of the General Fundamentals is based on the version printed in The Book of the General Laws of the Inhabitants of the Jurisdiction of New-Plimouth, Collected Out of the Records of the General Court, and Lately Revised , which was published in 1685 in Boston by Samuel Green, Printer. The General Fundamentals were listed with the dates of "Anno. 1636 and Revised 1671" in successive editions of the Book of General Laws . By comparing the first few paragraphs of the Fundamentals with the 1636 Codification of Plymouth Colony Laws, one can see early enactments that contributed to this list of "inviolable" individual rights. In contrast, a sentence in paragraph 8 of the text below mentions that the Colony had been in existence for over sixty years. This sentence was revised with each new printing of the Fundamentals, and cannot be used as a measure of the year in which all provisions of the Fundamentals were first authored. The 1672 edition of the Book of the General Laws , for example, printed this particular sentence to state that by that time the Colony had "now had near about fifty Years Experience."

GENERAL AUDIENCE OF JOHN PAUL II Wednesday 22 January 2003 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity All the baptized have duty to seek full unity Brothers and Sisters, 1. The Lord founded the "one" and "only" Church. In the Nicene Creed we profess: "I believe [in] the one holy catholic and apostolic Church". The Second Vatican Council reminds us: "Yet many Christian communions present themselves to men as the true heritage of Jesus Christ. To be sure, all proclaim themselves to be the disciples of the Lord, but their convictions clash and their paths diverge as if Christ himself were divided" ( Unitatis redintegratio n. 1). Unity is a great gift, a gift that we bear in fragile and breakable vessels of clay. How realistic this affirmation is, has been shown by the vicissitudes of the Christian community down through the centuries. In virtue of the faith that unites us, all of us Christians are bound, each according to his own vocation, to re-establish full communion, the valuable "treasure" left us by Christ. With a pure and sincere heart, we should work tirelessly to accomplish this evangelical mandate. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity brings us back to this basic task and offers us the chance to gather for prayer in our own Churches and ecclesial communities, and in joint gatherings with Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants, so that with one voice and heart we may pray for the precious gift of full unity. "We have this treasure in vessels of clay"

print this page close window Why I Went to Baghdad The General Secretary of the National Council of Churches explains why war with Iraq is 'immoral and illegal.' By Bob Edgar Dr. Bob Edgar, a United Methodist minister, led a 13-member religious leaders’ mission to Iraq during the first week of January. The group included other clergy and lay leaders from the United Methodist Church, United Church of Christ, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), The Episcopal Church and Unitarian Universalist Association, along with an Iraq expert from Georgetown University. The group’s four-day itinerary included visits to schools, hospitals, churches, mosques and humanitarian aid agencies. Following is Edgar's official statement from Iraq. BAGHDAD, Iraq, Jan. 2, 2003We are a delegation of 13 religious leaders and experts visiting Iraq under the auspices of the National Council of Churches (U.S.A.) Ours is a religious and not a political delegation. We came to see the faces of the Iraqi people so that the American people can see the faces of children laughing and singing and also hurting and suffering. We brought with us dozens of pictures drawn by American children. We shared these pictures with Iraqi children who, in turn, gave us messages to take back to children in the United States. We are called by God to be peacemakers. War is not inevitable and can be averted, even at this moment. President Bush reiterated, on New Year’s Eve, his desire to reach a peaceful conclusion to this crisis and we are grateful for his words.
