Nehring he United Church of Christ (UCC) was born out T of, and continues to shape and be shaped by, the ecumenical movement—the attempt of Christians to unite around matters of agreement rather than to divide over matters of disagreement. In 1957, two denominations merged, the Congregational Christian Churches and the Evangelical and Reformed Church, Contents resulting in the United Church of Christ.

The UCC is Genetics 5 sometimes described as a “non-creedal” church Mental Health 6 because no specific confession or set of confessional statements is considered normative for the church’s Death and Dying 8 faith. But UCC beliefs can be gleaned not only from Special Concerns 9 the numerous confessions that the church has actual- ly employed, but also from the traditions reflected in its worship and other practices, such as confirmation. From this perspective, the UCC might better be described as a “multi-creedal, multi-confessional” church. It embraces a rich Protestant heritage in which the primary authority of the Scriptures, justifi- cation by grace through faith, and the continuing guidance of the Holy Spirit are all central tenets. Although the UCC also features enormous theological diversity, two other key principles are embraced by virtually all its members.

  • Reformed Tradition
    THE ReformedEXPLORING THE FOUNDATIONS Tradition: OF FAITH Before You Begin This will be a brief overview of the stream of Christianity known as the Reformed tradition. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, the Reformed Church in America, the United Church of Christ, and the Christian Reformed Church are among those considered to be churches in the Reformed tradition. Readers who are not Presbyterian may find this topic to be “too Presbyterian.” We encourage you to find out more about your own faith tradition. Background Information The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is part of the Reformed tradition, which, like most Christian traditions, is ancient. It began at the time of Abraham and Sarah and was Jewish for about two thousand years before moving into the formation of the Christian church. As Christianity grew and evolved, two distinct expressions of Christianity emerged, and the Eastern Orthodox expression officially split with the Roman Catholic expression in the 11th century. Those of the Reformed tradition diverged from the Roman Catholic branch at the time of the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. Martin Luther of Germany precipitated the Protestant Reformation in 1517. Soon Huldrych Zwingli was leading the Reformation in Switzerland; there were important theological differences between Zwingli and Luther. As the Reformation progressed, the term “Reformed” became attached to the Swiss Reformation because of its insistence on References Refer to “Small Groups 101” in The Creating WomanSpace section for tips on leading a small group.

  • The Early Apostolics and the Trinity
    Chapter 3 The Early Apostolics and the Trinity The Tenets of the Apostolic Church begin with the Trinity (a feature which curiously sets them apart from most other evangelical and Pentecostal state- ments of faith).1 While most other evangelical and Pentecostal movements commence their doctrinal statements with reference to Scripture, the Tenets do not mention Scripture until the eighth position (between the Sacraments and Church government, and thus firmly within the context of ecclesiology). This primacy of the Trinity in the order of the Tenets was not accidental. Rath- er, the early leaders of the Apostolic Church were making clear their firm belief that the doctrine of the Trinity was the doctrine upon which all others rest and from which all others derive their meaning. Hence, unsurprisingly, some of these early leaders devoted significant reflection to the doctrine of the Trinity. 3.1 D.P. Williams and Thomas Rees: The Trinity and the Trinitarian Undergirding of All Theology In 1939 D.P. Williams wrote a two-volume work entitled The Trinity.2 The draft was intended as the first in a series exploring the Tenets of the Apostolic Church. However, due to the outbreak of war, it was never published, and when, after the war and ensuing paper shortages concluded, a series of works on the Tenets was finally published, the volumes included in the series were much less substantial. In fact, these works were not published until after the death of Williams, and thus without any contribution from his pen. When a volume on the Trinity was eventually published in the series of ‘Te- net Booklets’, it was a very short work by Thomas Rees.3 However, this work by 1 The statements of faith of the Elim Pentecostal Church and AoG (the other two indigenous British Pentecostal denominations) both commence with a statement on Scripture.

An interim pastor serves a church only during this period, and will not be a candidate for the permanent position. This limitation is the basis for the unique work of the interim pastorate, and it is the responsibility of the interim pastor to maintain the integrity of the position and the work. I. The Interim Minister A. Within the United Church of Christ, interim ministry is understood to be the specialized, time-limited pastoral ministry provided to a local congregation or other ecclesiastical setting during the search process for a person to be called to provide settled ministerial leadership in that setting. The Interim Minister, like other authorized ministers in the United Church of Christ is subject to the oversight of the Association’s Committee on Church and Ministry.

  • Appendix B: Methodology for Estimating Christian Movements
    95 GLOBAL CHRISTIANITY Appendix B: Methodology for Estimating Christian Movements In many countries, censuses and demographic surveys do not include the detailed denominational affiliation and religious self-identification measures necessary for determining the size of global movements within Christianity (such as evangelicalism, pentecostalism and the charismatic movement). The figures on Christian movements in this report were commissioned by the Pew Forum from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity (CSGC) at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Mass. CSGC researchers generated their estimates based in large part on figures provided by Christian denominations and organizations around the world. CSGC has obtained denominational membership information from about 41,000 organizations worldwide.24 The Center for the Study of Global Christianity’s estimates for the number of pentecostals worldwide are based on membership data from historically pentecostal denominations, such as the Assemblies of God and the Church of God in Christ. Pentecostal denominations emphasize the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including speaking in tongues, divine healing and prophecy. (For more details, see Defining Christian Traditions on page 38.) The pentecostal estimates also include denominations and independent churches that have pervasive pentecostal characteristics or practices but are not considered historically pentecostal.25 Charismatic Christians engage in spiritual practices associated with pentecostalism, such as speaking in tongues and divine healing, but belong to Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant or other denominations in which a minority of congregations have pervasive pentecostal practices. (For more details, see Defining Christian Traditions on page 38.) The Center for the Study of Global Christianity’s estimates of the size of the charismatic movement are based on statistics from denominational groups, relevant survey data and questionnaires distributed to key religious leaders.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [email protected] www.cogic.org CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST HOSTS GOOD FRIDAY VIRTUAL SERVICE “7 LAST SAYINGS OF CHRIST” Memphis, TN (April 9, 2020) The largest Pentecostal denomination in the country, the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), is hosting a virtual Good Friday Service entitled, “7 Last Sayings of Christ.” On Friday, April 10th at 6pm EST, 5pm CST and 3pm PST, the Church of God in Christ will broadcast its virtual Good Friday service to millions of members around the globe. Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. says, “For Christians, Good Friday is a symbol of hope for the very crux of our faith. It is one of the most important days of the year in Christendom that commemorates the crucifying of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. While Good Friday is a day of reflection for the awesome price Christ paid on the Cross, it also ushers in the celebratory significance that on the third day - Resurrection Sunday - our Savior rose.” This virtual service “7 Last Sayings of Christ” shares the Bible’s recording of Jesus’ last words while on the Cross. The speakers for this significant service include Presiding Bishop Blake and Mother Barbara McCoo Lewis, General Supervisor (Los Angeles, CA); Pastor Benjamin Stephens, III (Kansas City, MO); Bishop Edwin Walker (Chicago, IL); Bishop Frank A.

  • United Church of Christ History
    United Church of Christ History The United Church of Christ traces its roots back to the movements of European Reformed Protestantism to proclaim the good news based on biblical truths led by the Spirit of God. One of the youngest American denominations, its background ties it to some of the oldest heritages in Protestantism. The United Church of Christ, a united and uniting church, was born on June 25, 1957 when the Congregational Christian Churches and the Evangelical and Reformed Churches merged. Each of these branches was the product of a previous merger. The United Church of Christ is thus a combination of four groups. Two of these were the Congregational Churches of the English Reformation with Puritan New England roots in America and the Christian Church with American frontier beginnings. These two denominations were concerned for freedom of religious expression and local autonomy and united in 1931 to become the Congregational Christian Churches. The other two denominations were the Evangelical Synod of North America, a 19th-century German-American church of the frontier Mississippi Valley, and the Reformed Church in the United States, initially composed of early 18th-century churches in Pennsylvania and neighboring colonies. The parent churches were of German and Swiss heritage, conscientious carriers of the Reformed and Lutheran traditions of the Reformation, and united to form the Evangelical and Reformed Church in 1934. The Evangelical and Reformed Church and the Congregational Christian Churches shared a strong commitment under Christ to the freedom of religious expression. They also shared strong European ties, early colonial roots, and the vitality of the American frontier church.
