The World Council of Churches (WCC) has challenged the legitimacy of the G20 group of major developed and developing economies, and says that the international financial architecture needs a “paradigm shift.”

...

“The WCC is concerned about the effectiveness of such a meeting limited to a small portion of the world's countries, when the issue involves drawing up a new financial architecture in the 21st century.”

In a statement, the WCC said that it and the overall ecumenical family were “deeply concerned with the current global financial system which has continued to generate poverty and create massive unemployment”. The G20 included many of the people, governments and institutions whose policies are responsible for the current financial meltdown, the WCC said.

Well their website is a good place to start

World Council of Churches

The WCC brings together 349 churches, denominations and church fellowships in more than 110 countries and territories throughout the world, representing over 560 million Christians and including most of the world's Orthodox churches, scores of denominations from such historic traditions of the Protestant Reformation as Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and Reformed, as well as many united and independent churches. While the bulk of the WCC's founding churches were European and North American, today most are in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and the Pacific.

They appear to be just what the name says - a group of Christian Churches. However, they do not represent all of the churches in the world. Just the ones that decide to join. I think there is some argument with their tenants compared to more "conservative" churches.

Wow. The church at large is actually calling on the world to expedite their own prophetic tome, Revelations. I guess there are a lot of people in this hierarchy that are tired of being leaders and ready to be martyrs and saints.

By their own belief system, you would think they would wholey opposed to a one world government, but they seem to be backing this very thing, even hungry for it. I guess they are just another pawn in the great chess game of Earthling life.

sad, but true...

you hit the nail right on the head there!

Unless the Church leaders want to hurry up and get the inevitable over with as quick as possible, because in their eyes, it will be the 1 world Gov, 1 world religion, chips, and the Anti-Christ that will be the necessary factors to be in place for the Second coming of Christ
