Jesus
Christ prayed that his disciples be one with him and
with God in order that the world may believe that he
is the One sent from God for the redemption and salvation
of all humanity. The Council of Churches of the City
of New York is organized to bring together judicatories
of Christian churches and borough ecumenical councils
which, in response to the Gospel as revealed in the
Scriptures, confess Jesus Christ the incarnate Word
of God as Savior and Lord. These bodies covenant with
one another to manifest ever more fully the unity of
the Church, relying upon the transforming power of the
Holy Spirit to bring these judicatories and councils
into common mission, serving a diverse pluralistic urban
population to the glory of God. |
