Mennonites join council

The Mennonite Church Canada is an official member of the Canadian Council of Churches. This brings the council's membership up to 20 traditions, including Anglican, Roman Catholic, Protestant and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches. The Presbyterian Church is an active member.
After a number of years as an observer of the council, the MCC submitted an application that was unanimously approved. The Mennonite church brings its long history as a peace church, its depth of theology, its commitment to Scripture and its passion for social justice.
The Canadian Council of Churches is one of the broadest ecumenical organizations in the world. It works in a forum structure in which all voices have equal weight.
