Historical Note

The Constituting Convention took place in Cleveland, Ohio, November 28-December 1, 1950. The program states:
"Behind this gathering lie ten years of continuous discussion of the best procedure for bringing about fuller fellowship and greater cooperation among the churches of our country. It is the outward manifestation of a deepening sense of our spiritual unity in our Lord Jesus Christ as the one Head of the Church. It is a forward movement in the direction of a greater Christian unity while at the same time we preserve the Christian liberty which is our precious heritage."
