International Council of Community Churches : ウィキペディア英語版 | International Council of Community Churches The International Council of Community Churches (ICCC) is a Christian religious association of ecumenically co-operating Protestants and Independent Catholics 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Current Members )〕 based in Frankfort, Illinois, in the United States. It is the main organization of the Community Church movement. The ICCC is a member of Churches Uniting in Christ, the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA and the World Council of Churches. In 2009, the ICCC had 137 congregations with 69,276 members.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 2008 ''Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches'' )〕 Membership is concentrated primarily in the Midwest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 2000 Religious Congregations and Membership Study )〕 However, there are several congregations in California, New York, and Florida.〔 ==History== In 1950, the Biennial Council of the Peoples Church of Christ and Community Centers led by Dr. Joseph M. Evans (until then all Afro-American) and the National Council of Community Churches led by the Rev. Roy A. Burkhardt (until then all Caucasian) joined in a historic merger. At the time, their joining represented the largest interracial merger of religious bodies in America. The new creation was the International Council of Community Churches. Member churches united to be a fellowship of ecumenically minded, freedom-loving congregations cooperating in fulfilling the mission of the Church in the world. As a post-denominational movement, the Council has witnessed and worked for Christian unity, justice and reconciliation in human society.
