Consiliul National al Bisericilor lui Hristos din SUA finantat de … ROCKEFELLER

   National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA (National Council of Churches sau NCC) este o fratie ecumenica formata din 35 de culte crestine din SUA. Incluzand si protestanti sau ortodocsi, insumeaza aproximativ 45 milioane de adepti.

   Mult timp o forta principala a miscarii ecumenice din SUA, NCC a fost creata in 1950 prin unirea Federal Council of Churches (fondata in 1908) si International Council of Religious Education (fondata in 1905).

   Sediul Consiliului se afla la Interchurch Center, o cladire construita in anii 1950 din contributiile generoase ale lui John D. Rockefeller (NOTA 1), ce si-a dorit mult promovarea cooperarii dintre bisericile din SUA. Presedintele mason Dwight D. Eisenhower a pus piatra de temelie în 1958, înaintea unei mulţimi de 10,000 de persoane. In acelasi sediu se afla si organizatia sora Church World Service, diverse organizatii ecumenice sau World Council of Churches. In timp, in sediu au aparut si alte grupuri religioase, inclusiv organizatii evreiesti sau musulmane. De asemenea mai exista cateva birouri ale Rockefeller Brothers Fund si Religion Communicators Council, Odyssey Networks (media distribution agency a National Interfaith Cable Coalition) si Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility. Unii au considerat arhitectura cladirii ca fiind de-a dreptul stalinista:

   Un personaj foarte activ in NCC a fost si John Foster Dulles (NOTA 2), Chairman si cofondator al Commission on a Just and Durable Peace of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America.

   Primul presedinte al NCC (1960-63) a fost Joseph Irwin Miller (NOTA 3)

   Consiliul detine drepturile de autor asupra versiunii standard revizuite (1952) şi a noii versiuni standard revizuite (1989) a Bibliei. Se considera ca ele beneficiaza de manuscrise indisponibile anterior, cum ar fi cele de la Marea Moarta, precum si de colaborarea unor traducarori evrei, protestanti, catolici si ortodocsi.
