Whereas, the National Council of Churches was funded for the purpose of having the various Christian churches cooperate to promote the spread of Christianity; and
Whereas, over the past fifty years the Council has drifted further and further from that goal; and
Whereas, during the last couple of decades the Council has put the vast majority of its efforts into the promotion of those things which are primarily of a secular political nature, having only a peripheral relationship to the spreading of Christianity,
Be it therefore resolved by the 2000 General Conference that The United Methodist Church withdraw from any and all connections with the National Council of Churches, effective not later than December 31st of the year 2000.
