Biographical History
Official name, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America; informally known as National Council of Churches USA or variants; earlier name, Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America was organized in 1908; it was one of eight organizations which merged to form the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America on November 29, 1950.
Constituted at Cleveland, Ohio, on Nov. 29, 1950, effective Jan. 1, 1951; consolidation of eight interdenominational agencies: Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, Foreign Missions Conference of North America, Home Missions Council of North America, International Council of Religious Education, Missionary Education Movement of the United States and Canada, National Protestant Council on Higher Education, United Council of Church Women, and the United Stewardship Council.
The National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA is an ecumenical fellowship of 35 Christian faith groups in the United States. Its member communions include a wide variety of Mainline Protestant, Orthodox, African-American, Evangelical and historic Peace churches.
NCCCUSA continued the work of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. In 1950, the Foreign Missions Conference of North America became the Division of Foreign Missions of the NCCCUSA. In 1965, a reorganization led to the integration of the Division of Foreign Missions and the Central Department of Church World Service under a new name, the Division of Overseas Ministries.
Historical Note
The Constituting Convention took place in Cleveland, Ohio, November 28-December 1, 1950. The program states:
"Behind this gathering lie ten years of continuous discussion of the best procedure for bringing about fuller fellowship and greater cooperation among the churches of our country. It is the outward manifestation of a deepening sense of our spiritual unity in our Lord Jesus Christ as the one Head of the Church. It is a forward movement in the direction of a greater Christian unity while at the same time we preserve the Christian liberty which is our precious heritage."
Historical Note
This collection contains the proceedings of the first conference, held in San Francisco, May 1955, the second conference, 1958, and "The Chinese in the United States and the Chinese Christian churches" by Horace R. Cayton and Anne O. Lively, a survey conducted prior to the first conference to provide information and points of discussion. C.C. Hung discusses the beginnings and purpose of the conference (see File Folder 2), "We all have a sustained interest in our ministry. We all need to share our problems and experiences. There are many things that we cannot do as a single church or a single denomination, but in unity and cooperation we can achive our goal. We should not be discouraged if we cannot find a solution for all our many problems, but at the very least we will have a better understanding of the existence of the problems and face them more realistically." Papers and discussions included evangelism, worship styles, leadership, differences between China born and American born Chinese, the teaching and use of both Chinese and English, social service needs in the community, and stewardship and financial issues.
