Communism and World Council of Churches--like fish in a barrel

Here is another link about KGB influence in the WCC http://www.pravoslavieto.com/docs/eng/gospel_accord_marx.htm

'Regarding the election of Emilio Castro as WCC general secretary in 1985, a KGB memo confirms that its agents support Castro as 'a candidate acceptable to us.' A liberation theologian from Uruguay, Castro was vocal in his appreciation of Marxism. At a 1989 reception in the Kremlin, he addressed the guests as "comrades" and remarked that Karl Marx 'was dreaming out of the same biblical tradition from which we come ...in that common dream we hope that between us we will have many steps to take in common."'=====

Interesting enough I ran across an article on the Russian government working with the Church to standardize education. While I support the Church, it makes one nervous given the genocide history the Church has had in Russia. However, in other ways it almost feels refreshing to read,  given the cultural chaos of the United States. What's so different between all the social justice and liberation theology being mandatory indocrination  in US universities,  (and across the globe thanks to Jesuit schools and other "friends"),  and a One religion framework becoming mandated in  Russian universities? --ecumenistan Below are excerpts about how politics can use the WCC in ways not representing the faithful of the Church

BETWEEN FAITH AND COMPROMISE
"The socialist countries also established a well-organised system of co-ordination and unity of action in the ecumenical organisations. At state level, this policy was co-ordinated by the Committees for Church Affairs and the relevant State Security divisions; at church level, the co-ordination was implemented by the Divisions for Ecumenical and Peacemaking Affairs within the administration of participating churches." THE STATE CHURCH: ECUMENICAL ACTIVITY

Participation of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church in ecumenical organisations (the World Council of Churches, Christian Peace Conference and Conference of European Churches) was initiated, implemented and guided by the communist state, mainly by State Security. If, in popular perceptions, State Security is classified as a state within the state, then the ecumenical activity could be classified as a Church within the Church, and as the forerunner of the schism in the early 1990s. Usually branded in documents as a "peacemaking" activity, participation of the Bulgarian church in ecumenical organisations was not inspired by the idea of interdenominational dialogue and co-operation. Rather it was inspired by the communist state, which wanted to infiltrate the World Council of Churches and push it into the ranks of international organisations that could be used for communist propaganda, especially in the so-called Third World.
