Recently, many of the Orthodox Churches in the United States, including the [[Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America]], the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America]], and the [[Orthodox Church in America]] have joined a new ecumenical organization called [[Christian Churches Together]]. Many church leaders hope that this new organization will be able to avoid some of the problems the Orthodox churches had with groups like the [[National Council of Churches]] while at the same time opening up positive opportunities for dialogue and cooperation.
