70 years ago: The World Council of Churches is founded

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. II Timothy 3:5

On August 23, 1948, the World Council of Churches officially came into being, the day after the opening of its first assembly in Amsterdam, attended by 450 delegates and 1,000 officials of Protestant and Orthodox churches from 42 countries. The assembly was boycotted by the Roman Catholic and Russian Orthodox Churches.

The World Council of Churches is the largest organization representing the religion of anti-Christian liberalism in Christian dress. The best comment I've ever seen on the WCC was from Malcolm Muggeridge, who said that the WCC was like a row of drunks holding one another up, lest alone they each fall into the gutter.
