From a quick google grab, an article written a few years ago, when Elián Gonzalez had been pilfered by the Miami mafia:

The NCC and Cuba

By invitation of the Cuban Council of Churches, a (U.S.) National Council of Churches official delegation, headed by the Rev. Dr. Bob Edgar, NCC General Secretary, visited Cuba Sept. 2-7, 2000.

Partners for more than 40 years, the two ecumenical councils helped lay the groundwork for Elian Gonzalez's return to his father. Now they meet in a rapidly evolving context – “post-Elian,” as U.S.-Cuban national relations begin to thaw; as Cuba’s churches grow rapidly in membership, witness, service and respect in their society, and as both the NCC and Cuban Council of Churches reach out in new ways to Roman Catholics, Pentecostals and evangelicals.

This NCC Web section offers not only full information about the delegation visit but also a host of other resources for study and action, on Cuba's churches and Ecumenical Movement and on U.S. government policy concerning Cuba.
