The National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS) is an ecumenical fellowship of Churches and Christian organisations in Singapore. This duty was initially carried out by the Malayan Christian Council which was then succeeded by the Council of Churches of Malaysia and Singapore. Following the expulsion of Singapore from Malaysia, a new, separate Council of Churches in Singapore was then constituted on 24 July 1974. It represents over 250 churches in Singapore. The current president of the NCCS is Keith Lai.

  • Das National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS, dt.: Nationaler Rat der Kirchen von Singapur) ist ein ökumenischer Verband von Kirchen und christlichen Organisationen in Singapur. Es steht in der Nachfolge des Council of Churches of Malaysia (Malayan Christian Council), welches sich zum Council of Churches of Malaysia and Singapore entwickelte. Nach dem Ausschluss Singapurs aus der Malaysischen Föderation wurde am 24. Juli 1974 ein neues, separates Council of Churches in Singapore geschaffen. Der Nationale Rat repräsentiert mehr als 250 Kirchen in Singapur. Das Council gilt als „socially conservative and theologically evangelical“ (sozial-konservativ und theologisch evangelikal), wobei es denominational und liturgisch für Diversität steht. Daher haben auch viele unabhängige Kirchen eine Mitgliedschaft im Council. In neuerer Zeit hat das Council eine eher aktive Rolle angenommen. Es veröffentlichte Statements zu gesellschaftlichen Themen, die von den Kirchen als problematisch wahrgenommen werden, beispielsweise das Pink Dot Movement und neue Online-Glücksspiel-Gesetze. (de)

The current president of the NCCS is Keith Lai. The Council has been noted to be "socially conservative and theologically evangelical", embracing denominational and liturgical diversity. This has led several independent churches to seek membership in the council. In recent years, it has also taken a more active stance, issuing statements on issues that the Council feels are of grave concern. These include the Pink Dot Movement and the new online gambling laws. (en)
