The AmericanCouncil of Christian Churches ACCC was founded in 1941 under the leadership of Carl McIntire . McIntire and others created a fundamentalist organization set up in opposition to the Federal Council of Churches now National Council of Churches . The ACCC motto is Jude 3 Earnestly contending for the Faith . Membership in the AmericanCouncil of Christian Churches is available to denominations and individual Christians, who are admitted by a 3 4 majority vote. Agreement with the purposes and doctrinal statement are required and membership is specifically denied to those who have affiliations with the World Council of Churches WCC or any of its affiliates, such as the National Council of Churches National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. NCC , the World Evangelical Fellowship WEF or any of its affiliates, such as the National Association of Evangelicals NAE , the modern Charismatic Movement, or the Christian ecumenism Ecumenical Movement ... The ACCC has remained small in comparison to the National Association of Evangelicals and the National Council of Churches . This is due in part to its strong separatist stance, and in part because separatist denominations will often not participate in cross denominational organizations. Dr. Ralph Colas currently serves as Executive Secretary . Offices are in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania . The ACCC is the national equivalent of the International Council of Christian Churches . In July 2007, the leadership of the ACCC issued a statement criticizing a recent declaration by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on the meaning of the phrase subsistit in which re emphasized the role of the Catholic Church as the subsisting Church of Christ. ref http www.amcouncilcc.org ProperChurchComment.pdf ACCC responds to proper Church comment ref Members January 2004 Bible Presbyterian Church Evangelical Methodist Church Evangelical Methodist Church of America Fellowship of Fundamental Bible Churches Free Presbyterian Church ... more details

It was founded as a tax exempt umbrella organization of American Jewish groups, which focused on Israel and included the Zionist Organization of America ZOA , Hadassah and other Zionist organizations active in the United States. It acted as an umbrella group for public relations, outreach, and lobbying on Capitol Hill. Between 1951 and 1953, its Washington representative was Isaiah L. Kenen . Kenen organized the unincorporated American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs AZPAC in 1953. AZPAC was primarily a public relations organization, emitting numerous but declining numbers of news releases. AZC s early years were characterized with bureaucratic struggle within Jewish and pro Israel movements. Its name change to the AIPAC alienated the Zionist Organization of America, and an important representative to the World Zionist Organization , which felt that AIPAC might surrender lobbying control to Jews who, while willing to help fund Jewish charities, schools, and kibbutzim were less dedicated to the traditional Zionist idea of Israel as a sovereign Jewish state.
