One World Church?

There's a new ecumenical movement getting started. Thirty-six churches and national Christian organizations representing over 100 million Christians will be the founding members of Christian Churches Together in the U.S.A. (CCT), which is said to be the only venue where all the major groupings of churches come together and also the most extensive ecumenical effort in U.S. history.

This new movement is bringing together Evangelical, Pentecostal, Orthodox, Protestant, racial and ethnic, and Roman Catholic churches.

I don't know that much about the movement yet to offer an informed opinion, but appears to me to just be another step toward a one world church - hopefully I'm wrong...
