I can only imagine how uncomfortable and challenging the recent examination of Jeremiah Wright, retired pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, where Sen. Barack Obama is a member, has been for the members of the United Church of Christ. The UCC has raised funds to put out an ad in the New York Times […]
United Church of Christ minister and blogger Chuck Currie considers who instigated the IRS probe of the United Church of Christ, following Barack Obama’s speech (on faith) at the last General Synod.
Don’t you love election season? Especially the maddening whisper campaigns which on one hand denounce Sen. Obama as a Islamicist Manchurian candidate — if you’ve gotten one of those emails, do let me know — and on the other denounce his church (Trinity UCC, Chicago) as some kind of black racist stronghold.

UCC minister Kirk Moore (Kirogitation) is blogging regularly the events of the United Church of Christ General Synod in Hartford, Connecticut. They have an interesting program today; I would rather like to see Sen. Barack Obama, a member of a UCC church in Chicago, speak this afternoon.
Many of my readers know James Estes (Peregrinato); he’s […]
Psst! Theological students, over here.
If I wanted to improve the profile of my seminary — particularly if I’ve heard that it has a soft reputation, a problem with enrollment or that my denomination is about to slice its funding –Â I might want to follow the example of the students of the United Church of […]
Later. If you care about UCC.org, or church websites in general, see Anna Belle Leiserson’s break-down of the facts at her Faith and Web.
