On November 10, 2010, delegates at the General Assembly of the
National Council of Churches USA (NCC) approved Community of Christ for
membership. The NCC is a community of Christian communions that represents a
wide range of Christian traditions and experiences.
President Becky Savage, Ecumenical and Interfaith Officer Dale
E. Luffman, and former Ecumenical and Interfaith Officer Gail Mengel represented
the church at the NCC’s historic Centennial Conference.
Community of Christ membership in the NCC culminates a journey
that began at our 1980 World Conference when delegates approved World Conference
Resolution (WCR) 1157 Participation in Interdenominational Christian Ministries.
Later legislation included 1992 approval of WCR 1222 Interfaith Organizations,
and 2002 approval of WCR 1275 Ecumenical/Interfaith Memberships.
We appreciate the work of current and former Ecumenical and
Interfaith officers Luffman and Mengel. We look forward to building
relationships through the NCC based on our united conviction that God has
brought us together in Christ.
