Thanks for the link and the nice words. The day I found the UCC meant so much to me, and the day I joined meant so much more, because not only was I joining a church I feel at home in, but also because I was joining with my fiancee; we announced our engagement during the service as well. We met at our New Year’s Day service and were engaged 2-and-a-half weeks ago.

I’ve written on the proposed Congregational-Universalist merger. See http://boyinthebands.com/index.php?s=comity

Michelle, the easiest (maybe) way of finding the history of the Universalist - congregationalist proposed merger is to get a copy of THE LARGER HOPE, volume 2 by Russell E. Miller (1985), Chapter 29. Apparently quite seriously during the late 1920s.

Hmmm, an interesting what if - what would the landscape look like had the Universalists merged with the Congregationalists. I don’t have any history or polity (and won’t get any unless I do the reading on my own) so I don’t know if this was even remotely likely. How many Congregationalists were universalists. And what would the UUA look like as the UA today?

Interesting questions.
