CHARLOTTE-The Assembly Committee on Catholicity and Ecumenical Relations 
has approved the list of churches that will, once the Assembly gives its 
approval, be invited to send Ecumenical Advisory Delegates to the 211th 
General Assembly in 1999. 
    Churches to be invited from the United States include the Armenian 
Apostolic Church (Prelacy), Korean Presbyterian Church in America (KPCA), 
African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), Evangelical Lutheran Church in 
America (ELCA), and Church of the Brethren. 
    Overseas churches to be invited to send advisory delegates are the 
Presbyterian Church of East Africa, Church of Jesus Christ in Madagascar, 
Evangelical Congregational Church in Angola, Brethren (Lutheran/Reformed), 
The Dominican Evangelical Church (DEC), Pentecostal Mission Church of 
Chile, Presbyterian Church in Taiwan (PCT), China Christian Council (CCC), 
The Christian Church of East Timor, The Evangelical Lutheran Church of 
Jordan, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Evangelical Church of the Czech 
Brethren. 
    Churches are invited on a rotating basis and are part of the Churches 
of Christ around the world.  Many have fraternal relationships with the 
Presbyterian Church(U.S.A.).  The purpose of including Ecumenical Advisory 
Delegates at the General Assembly is to express oneness with all the 
Churches of Christ.
