Public Witness Resources from the NCC


The NCC fosters a strong ecumenical witness on the moral and ethical dimensions of public policy issues.  Working from a policy base developed by its member churches over many decades, the NCC makes the views of the ecumenical community known to government and keeps its constituents informed of legislative and other developments of interest to the churches.
