But WCC policy states that no individual church is a member of it, only the various branches made up of the churches. Thus, when any question arises as to whether a particular church is part of the WCC, the leaders of these various churches can technically tell their membership that their church is not a member of the WCC, when it really is through connection to the various branches!
Lakini mwongozo wa WCC hueleza kuwa hakuna kanisa binafsi lililo mwanachama wake, isipokuwa tu matawi mbali mbali. Hivyo, wakati swali lolote linapojitokeza kujua kama kanisa fulani ni sehemu ya WCC, viongozi wa Makanisa haya mbali mbali wanaweza, kiujanjanja, kuwaambia washiriki wao kwamba Kanisa lao siyo mwanachama wa WCC, wakati kwa hakika ni wanachama kwa njia ya kushikamana na matawi mbali mbali!
