That's the World Council of Churches, by the way, not some new wrestling league.
The US delegation released on interesting statement at the beginning of the conference in Brazil. For those of you that get hung up on the grace and peace stuff, jump to the topic sentence of paragraph two. It's good to see some clear wording that isn't pulling any punches.
What, you're too lazy to even click the link and read one topic sentence, let alone a whole statement? Ok, here you go:
"Yet we acknowledge as well that we are citizens of a nation that has done much in these years to endanger the human family and to abuse the creation."
This will cause some interesting friction back in the US within some denominations that are still struggling to figure out whether the authoritarian, corporate-funded wing of the Republican Party is an ally or enemy in the core missions of the church.
