COCU

“That They May Be One” is the theme of Churches Uniting in Christ. After 40 years of study and prayer through the Consultation on Church Union (COCU), the 10 member churches agreed to stop “consulting” and start living their unity in Christ more fully. On January 20, 2002, these churches inaugurated a new relationship to be known as Churches Uniting in Christ (CUIC).

Each communion retains its own identity and decision-making structures, but they also have pledged before God to draw closer in sacred things—including regular sharing of the Lord’s Supper and common mission, especially a mission to combat racism together. Each church also committed itself to undertake an intensive dialogue toward the day when ministers are authorized to serve and lead worship, when invited, in each of the communions.

Director Rev. Patrice L. Rosner is the Director and Rev. Suzanne Webb—Southeast Gateway Area pastor— is President. Visit CUIC’s web site for more information at www.cuicinfo.org.
