Supporting the ecumenical work of the Canadian Council of Churches

We are excited to share that Community of Christ in Canada has made a donation of $10,000 to the Canadian Council of Churches (CCC) in recognition of their 80th anniversary. This donation reflects our gratitude for the CCC’s vital role in fostering connections among Christian communities across the country, and for the opportunity to participate in meaningful ministries alongside fellow denominations.

In a letter addressed to the CCC’s leadership, Community of Christ acknowledged the profound impact of the CCC’s work. The letter specifically highlighted our collaboration in initiatives like Project Ploughshares, which aligns with Community of Christ’s mission to promote peace and reconciliation in the world. The letter reads:

“We are grateful for the opportunities the CCC has given Community of Christ in Canada to connect with fellow denominational leaders, to share in the results of your many studies and ministries, and to participate as fellow peacemakers in Project Ploughshares. In gratitude for the organization and its vital work, Community of Christ is pleased to make a donation of $10,000. We know this contribution will be put to good use by the CCC.”

As part of our ongoing commitment to support ecumenical efforts, this contribution reaffirms our desire to partner with organizations like the CCC, which fosters dialogue and collaboration among Christian traditions, strengthening our shared witness and mission.

The Canadian Council of Churches (CCC) was founded in 1944 and today represents 26 member churches from a wide array of Christian traditions. Together, these churches represent approximately 85% of Canadian Christians. ​The CCC recognizes Community of Christ as an observer church invited to participate in the work of the Council and being in agreement with the Basis of its Constitution.
