[ɪntə'næʃnl 'kaʊnsl ɔf 'krɪstjən 'tʃəːtʃɪz, englisch], Abkürzung
ICCC, Internationaler Rat chrịstlicher Kirchen, internationale Sammlungsbewegung protestantisch-fundamentalistisch geprägter Kirchen und Gruppen, 1948 in
Amsterdam unter
Betonung ihrer theologischen Gemeinsamkeit (bei organisatorischer Selbstständigkeit) als Gegenorganisation zum Ökumenischen Rat der Kirchen gegründet. Auf die
Initiative des presbyterianischen Pfarrers und eines der Wortführer des amerikanischen
Fundamentalismus Carl McIntire zurückgehend, grenzt sich der ICCC gegen den nach seinem Verständnis »Glaubensabfall«
und »Synkretismus« des ÖRK ab. Sitz des ICCC ist Garderen (
Gemeinde Barneveld,
Niederlande), oberstes Organ die Vollversammlung. Die
Geschäftsführung liegt in den Händen des Exekutivkomitees und des Präsidenten. Gegenwärtig (1996) gehören dem ICCC rd. 400 christliche Kirchen und Gruppen in 57 Ländern als Mitglied an.
