Founded in 1950, the NCC is the nation's leading ecumenical organization and the locus for a wide array of ministries, including humanitarian assistance (through Church World Service), justice ministries, interfaith dialogue, education and the pursuit of greater Christian unity. (The NCC's 50-member Executive Board is a high-level "subset" of the Assembly.)
