Worldwide Faith News Goes Online

Worldwide Faith News Goes Online

Denominational news, new church documents, and other information from dozens of religious groups are available at a new Web site operated by the National Council of Churches (NCC).

The Worldwide Faith News site (http://www.wfn.org) contains news from the NCC, World Council of Churches, Latin American Council of Churches, South African Council of Churches, Worldwide Anglican Communion, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, United Church of Christ, United Methodist Church, Episcopal Church, Mennonite Church, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), American Friends Service Committee, and United Church of Canada.

Organizers of the site hope to include news from other Protestant denominations, as well as Catholic, Jewish, and Islamic news. The site is available in English, German, French, and Spanish.

Visitors to the Web site can subscribe to a mailing list to receive all of the documents via e-mail.

The NCC’s official site (http://www.ncc-coe.org)also contains several press releases from denominations and religious organizations.
