National Council of Churches Formed in Cleveland
In Cleveland, the National Council of the Churches of Christ will be born, uniting 29 Protestant and Eastern Orthodox churches to coordinate work for 31,183,227 communicants. The ceremony in the giant auditorium marks a pivotal step toward church unity, described as potentially epochal and more significant than Amsterdam’s World Council. The eight initiating agencies include the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ and Foreign Missions Conference.
