The National Council of Churches in India ended its 27th national assembly in Bangalore on April 28 with a call to end illegal sale of Church property.
Church property must not be sold or leased but preserved for posterity, the meeting agreed.
Augustine Jayakumar, Lutheran Church leader, said corruption had become “rampant” in many churches.
“The NCCI must withdraw the membership of Churches whose officials indulge in corruption,” he said.
Some 400 people attended the April 25-28 assembly.
The NCCI, founded in 1914, is a forum of 30 Protestant and Orthodox Churches and more than 50 related organizations.
