NATIONAL COUNCIL OF CHURCHES

NCC at a Glance: Who Belongs, How It Works, What
It Does

The National Council of the Churches of Christ in
the USA is the nation's leading organization in
the movement for Christian ecumenical
cooperation. The NCC's 36 Protestant, Anglican
and Orthodox member communions and denominations
include more than 50 million persons in 140,000
local congregations in communities across the
United States.
. . .

The NCC believes that genuine unity demands
inclusivity and a respect for diversity, and
strives to embody this belief in its programs,
decision-making and staffing.

Programs

Working together in the Council, member
communions carry out a wide range of ministries,
many of which have roots that go back a century
or more.  Founded in 1950, the Council continues
the work of more than a dozen previously existing
interdenominational organizations.  In addition,
the NCC has reached out to numerous partners in
ministry, both on the local and regional level,
and in national alliances that help get important
objectives accomplished.
. . .
The NCC has an honored history in the scholarly
research of the Scriptures.  It provides for the
translation of the New Revised Standard Version
of the Bible and works to increase the use of the
Bible in churches and in the marketplace.

. . . Globally, the NCC is at work in more than
80 countries, including the United States,
through Church World Service (CWS). . . .

. . . The NCC's leadership helps to link faith
groups throughout the country and worldwide.  In
addition to working closely with its member
communions, the NCC maintains working
relationships with the Roman Catholic Church,
Evangelical and Pentecostal communities and other
Christian bodies, and with national partner
organizations. The NCC also networks with the
many ecumenical and interfaith organizations
established at the local, state and regional
level.  And it promotes harmonious relations
among Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists,
practitioners of traditional Native American
religion and many other faith groups in a society
that is increasingly multireligious.

And what public policy position does Mr. Young's
National Council of Churches promote regarding
Israel? Read the pro-Palestenian articles for
yourself. The members are encouraged to obtain
signatures on a petition called "A Christian Call
for Peace", as part of the CMEP/Grassroots
Advocacy Project to be presented to "our
country's leaders".
http://www.cmep.org/petition.html  This petition
states:

"A Christian Call for Peace
We pray for peace in the Holy Land.
We are Christians called to express our concerns
for peace in Israel and Palestine.

-- We believe that one of the primary outcomes of
negotiations in the Middle East must be a viable
Palestinian state living in peace alongside the
state of Israel. For a Palestinian state to be
viable and for Israel to be secure, Israel's
occupation of the West Bank and Gaza must end.
All Israeli settlement activity in the Occupied
Territories must cease.

-- We believe in the vision of a shared Jerusalem
as the heritage, hope and home of two peoples and
three religions. Jerusalem should be a shared,
open city - a sign of peace and a symbol of
reconciliation for the Abrahamic faiths.

-- We call for an immediate end to the cycle of
violence. We support a negotiated agreement for
an Israeli-Palestinian-Arab peace based on
international law.

-- We strongly support the presence of
international observers as one immediate means of
discouraging further violence between
Palestinians and Israelis.

-- We urge our country's leaders to do all in
their power to prepare the road for a just and
durable peace."

SUCH A PETITION IS NOT IN ACCORD WITH
THE GOD OF THE HOLY BIBLE, THE GOD WHO
CANNOT LIE, THE GOD WHO DOES NOT CHANGE
IT IS AN ANTICHRIST PETITION.

Now that we know a little background about the
identified principalities and powers that drafted
the UCSNS/21 Report, let us now look to the
Implentation Plan of the Commissions
recommendations being used as a blueprint for
Bush's "War against Terrorism". Note that this
pre-dates the 9/11 terrorist attack.
