===Ecumenism and interfaith activities===
The Community of Christ has made efforts to reconcile with traditional [[Christianity]] and to reach out to other Christians. The Community of Christ frequently notes that it has never sanctioned [[polygamy]]; it has always ordained persons of any race; it has no required creedal statement, asking only that people profess faith in Christ as a condition for baptism; it has accepted Trinitarian doctrine; it has been in dialogue with the [[National Council of Churches]] (NCC),<ref>"Member Communions and Denominations" ''National Council of Churches in the USA'', {{cite web|url=http://www.ncccusa.org/members/ |title=Members of the National Council of Churches |access-date=2014-03-05 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140316071657/http://www.ncccusa.org/members/ |archive-date=2014-03-16 }}</ref> the [[World Council of Churches]] (WCC), and [[Christian Churches Together]]; and it has practiced [[open communion]] since 1994.<ref>"The Lord's Supper", ''Community of Christ'', {{cite web |url=http://www.cofchrist.org/sacraments/communion/Lords-Supper.asp |title=World Church News |access-date=2011-01-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101126084256/http://www.cofchrist.org/sacraments/communion/Lords-Supper.asp |archive-date=2010-11-26 }}</ref> On November 10, 2010, the Community of Christ was unanimously approved for membership by the National Council of Churches, becoming the 37th member communion of this ecumenical body.<ref>{{cite web |last= Jenks |first= Philip |title= Ecumenical Gathering studies, worships, speaks out on issues, and adds a member |url= http://www.ncccusa.org/witnesses2010/ga2010.nov1011.1.htm |publisher= National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA |date= November 11, 2010 |access-date= February 22, 2011 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110107203754/http://www.ncccusa.org/witnesses2010/ga2010.nov1011.1.htm |archive-date= January 7, 2011 }}</ref>

In its World Conference in 2002, a committee on "Ecumenical/Interfaith Relations" was established to explore the possibility of entering into the membership of the WCC. In its report for the 2004 World Conference, the committee concluded that while there was an openness to further meetings and discussions, there were concerns about several issues including new entrance criteria based on theology and the Community of Christ's acceptance of extra-biblical scriptures. The report states that this warrants caution in their approach, but the dialogue would continue.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cofchrist.org/wc2004/legislation/H-11.asp|archive-url=https://archive.today/20060506040918/http://www.cofchrist.org/wc2004/legislation/H-11.asp|url-status=dead|archive-date=2006-05-06|title=2004 World Conference, Ecumenical/Interfaith Relations Committee Report|access-date=2006-08-17}}</ref>
