Christian Council of Mozambique

The Christian Council of Mozambique (Conselho Cristão de Moçambique) is an ecumenical Christian organization in Mozambique. It was founded in 1948 and is a member of the World Council of Churches[1] and the Fellowship of Christian Councils in Southern Africa.

The council represents 20 Christian denominations, as well as the Bible Society and the Scripture Union.[2]

CCM issues public statements on behalf of the denominations that it represents,[3] as well as practical aid where needed.[4][5]

In 1984, during the Mozambican Civil War, the CCM launched a Peace and Reconciliation Commission to work for peace.[6] This came after its work throughout the country after the Mozambican War of Independence.[7]
