Baptist groups like new ecumenical body: Christian Churches Together
Leaders of the American Baptist Churches in the USA and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship say they are excited about potential opportunities for formal dialogue with other U.S. Christians, including Catholics, Orthodox, mainline Protestants, evangelicals and Pentecostals in the fledgling Christian Churches Together in the USA.
Both ABC’s and CBF’s governing bodies are taking steps toward becoming founding members of CCT. A much broader fellowship than the National Council of Churches, CCT is seeking to embrace the widest range of Christian communities by sometime next year.
