	National Council of Churches - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Council of Churches was organized in 1950, and its forerunner, the Federal Council of Churches was founded in 1908.
		NCC is related fraternally to hundreds of local and state councils of churches and interfaith organizations, and to the World Council of Churches, but though they may include many of the same member churches, these councils have no fiscal or administrative connections to each other.
		The NCC has consistently declined to take public positions on issues where there is not consensus among its diverse constituent member bodies, and this results in criticism by some liberal Protestants.
