Communion of Churches in Indonesia
The Communion of Churches in Indonesia (CCI), Indonesian: Persekutuan Gereja-Gereja di Indonesia (PGI), is a fellowship organisation of Protestant churches in Indonesia. This fellowship was founded on 25 May 1950, in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, under the name Council of Churches in Indonesia (Dewan Gereja-Gereja di Indonesia – DGI) as a manifestation of the desire of Protestants in Indonesia to reunite the Protestant Church as the fragmented Body of Christ. Therefore, PGI stated that the aim of its formation was to create one Christian Church in Indonesia. It is a member of the World Council of Churches.
The Communion is the largest organisation of Christian Churches in Indonesia. In 2024, it had 104 member churches, and its chairman is the Reverend Jacklevyn Frits Manuputty. Its slogan is 'Creating One Christian Church in Indonesia'.
On 6 to 13 November 1949, a Preparatory Conference for the Council of Churches in Indonesia was held. As is known, before World War II, efforts had been made to establish a Council to oversee the work of Zending; however, due to the outbreak of World War II, this intention was postponed. After World War II, three Regional Councils were established, namely the Consultative Council of Churches in Indonesia based in Yogyakarta (May 1946), the Joint Business Council of Churches in Eastern Indonesia based in Makasar (9 March 1947), and the Council of Churches in Eastern Indonesia. Sumatran part of the church (early 1949) based in Medan.
These three regional councils were established with the aim of forming one Council of Churches in Indonesia, which encompasses the three councils. On 21 to 28 May 1950, the Conference for the Formation of the Council of Churches in Indonesia (DGI) was held, at the High Theological School (now the Jakarta Theological College). Some of those attending the conference were:
One of the agendas for the conference was a discussion of the DGI Articles of Association. On 25 May 1950, the DGI Articles of Association were approved by the conference participants, and this date was determined as the founding date of the Council of Churches in Indonesia (Indonesian: Dewan Gereja-Gereja di Indonesia) (DGI) in a text 'DGI Formation Manifesto':
