The assemblies and working groups of the WCC become arenas of candor, accountability and action from which no member body is easily excused. The Council's history of churches finding solidarity in witnessing to human rights, racial equality and creation protection finds a tribute to its relevance in the voices of its fiercest critics among prevailing principalities and powers. Strengthening the WCC offers the UMC its best opportunity to discard its association with the myth of American exceptionalism.
