The answer to the question, “The adjective “United” in the United Church of Christ has come to mean united in most all matters of theology and Christian witness,” is no. The United Church of Christ believes God’s truth is multi-vocal and textured.

God’s truth is not dictated from on high by a cardinal or bishop or minister or moderator. God’s truth comes from the deliberations, the papers, words and ideas of dozens of people; God’s truth comes through gatherings of people in discussion and prayer. It is in the collective soul of the community that truth is to be found.

Now for a little more history of The United Church.
