Building a Common Voice: Catholics Join CCT
19 November 2004The Bishops of the U.S. Roman Catholic Church have decided to join the broadest alliance of Christian churches in the country, the ecumenical coalition, Christian Churches Together U.S.A. (CCT). CCT, which was created with the help of the National Council of Churches (the current largest ecumenical body), has been under discussion since 2001. When it is completed this spring, CCT could have triple the membership of NCC, representing five loosly-defined segments of U.S. Christianity: "Evangelical/Pentecostal, Historic Protestant, Orthodox, Racial/Ethnic and Roman Catholic." In the beginning, CCT will focus mostly on discussion and worship, though as it evolves, the organization plans to become more active, and "'[speak] to society with a common voice'" on specific issues.
