British Council of Churches

The British Council of Churches was an organization formed in 1942 to promote cooperation and dialogue among various Christian denominations in the UK. Its goal was to foster mutual understanding, unite different Christian groups, and address social issues collaboratively. The council reflected a commitment to ecumenism, emphasizing shared beliefs while respecting differences. It played a key role in fostering Christian unity during its active years, eventually evolving into other ecumenical bodies, such as Churches Together in England. Overall, it aimed to strengthen Christian witness and foster cooperation across denominations for the benefit of society.
