The Canadian Council of Churches is the broadest and most inclusive ecumenical body in the world, now representing 25 denominations of Anglican; Evangelical; Free Church; Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox; Protestant; and Catholic traditions. Together we represent more than 85% of the Christians in Canada. The Canadian Council of Churches was founded in 1944.Our mission and witness are primarily carried out in the work of the Justice and Peace Commission and the Faith and Witness Commission and their sub-committees. Some current issues include: anti-racism, human trafficking, nuclear weapons, Afghanistan, poverty, the importance and use of doctrine, emergency planning, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, InterFaith relationships, Christian theological reflection on suffering and hope, theological reflection on biotechnology, the Millennium Development Goals and the lack of progress towards their fulfillment, and, most recently, the churches' responses to the platforms of the federal election.Together we dialogue, witness and work in common action. In unity and in celebration of the richness of diversity, CCC denominations write letters to and meet with our government leaders, engage the media and publish resources on some of the challenges in faithful living in the 21st century.
