“Trading Places” (UCC Video) In an era of seemingly so much division, this short video takes a look at interfaith unity and the responses of both observers and participants. “What unites us is greater than what divides us.” Our expression, “that they may all be one”, seems to take on a fresh look as examined by this video. Click the picture at left, or this link, to see it: “Trading Places.”
“A Place Like This” (UCC Video) The United Church of Christ is a place where religion is relevant again. It's a place "that should be on every street corner." Indeed, “…within the United Church of Christ there is this invitation to bring your whole self…” -- giving credence to the motto, “No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.” Click the picture at left, or this link to see this inspiring video –> “A Place Like This.”

THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE United Church of Christ One of the most diverse Conferences in the United Church of Christ, the Southern Conference formed after the national union of the Evangelical and Reformed Church and the Congregational Christian Churches in Cleveland OH, on June 25, 1957 — the union that gave birth to the United Church of Christ. Eight years after the United Church of Christ was formed, three church bodies — the Southern Synod of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, the Convention of the South of the Congregational Christian Churches (a denomination of African-Ameri­can Congregational Christian Churches), and the South­ern Convention of the Congregational Christian Churches — formed a covenant on September 30, 1965. Each group reflected both the unique polity of their national bodies and their ethnic forebears — African, British and German. All, however, shared a cultural Southernness and unity in their belief that Jesus’ prayer, “that they may all be one,” was to be taken seriously. The new entity comprised 414 congregations reporting 66,000 members. Please click the Southern Conference Logo to link to the website.
