(Dexter Van Zile photo.) Founded in 1948, the World Council of Churches (WCC) is one of the more vocal and prominent nongovernmental organizations operating in the international arena. Serving as the umbrella organization for 350 Protestant and Orthodox churches in more than 110 countries, the WCC works to promote Christian unity aiming to create “one eucharistic fellowship” among all Christians.
