World Council of Churches, History and Future


The World Council of Church's is the world's largest interdenominational Christian group. It has over 350 member churches, representing 560 million people. It has Orthodox members, Protestant members, and Eastern Rite members, yet the Roman Catholic church is conspicuous by its absence.

As wide as its denominational breadth is, the biggest differences between Christians are withindenominations, not between them. Liberal Protestants might get along better with liberal Eastern Orthodox than they do with conservatives of their same denomination.
