On January 29, 2003, at Fuller Theological
Seminary in Pasadena, California, forty-six national church leaders
agreed on a proposal called Christian
Churches Together in the U.S.A. (CCT).
This diversity of faith is represented in five historical families:
1) Evangelical/Pentecostal, 2) Historic Protestant, 3) Orthodox, 4)
Racial/Ethnic, 5) Roman Catholic.
During the 11th plenary session of the 2003
Churchwide Assembly of the ELCA, voting members adopted an action to
join CCT.
See related news story. The Churchwide Assembly is the chief legislative authority of
the ELCA. The action stated that “the purpose of Christian Churches
Together is to enable churches and national Christian organizations to
grow closer together in Christ in order to strengthen our Christian
witness in the world.”
Christian Churches
Together in the USA (CCT) meeting was in March 28- 31, 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia at the Simpsonwood Retreat
Center. The program committee discussed poverty in the United States.
