The
National Council of Churches USA, founded in 1950, is the leading force for ecumenical
cooperation among Christians in the United States. Its formal
legal name is the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the
U.S.A., but it is generally referred to as "National Council of
Churches" or "NCC".
The NCC's 35
member
communions --
variously called churches, denominations and conventions -- include Protestant, Anglican
and Orthodox faith groups with 45 million adherents in more than 100,000
local congregations across the nation.
Most
of the National Council's work is conducted through five program commissions, listed
below, whose participants are drawn from more than 50 denominations in
the U.S. and Canada, including Roman Catholic, Evangelical and
Pentecostal churches as well as member communions of the NCC.
The
NCC publishes the
Yearbook of
U.S. and Canadian Churches, and fosters the translation program that
produced the Revised and New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. The
member churches also conduct humanitarian and emergency relief
work through the Council's sister ministry,
Church
World Service.
