I went to the UCC website www.ucc.org and I can understand why you thought they were Reformed. Testimonies, not tests of the faith The United Church of Christ embraces a theological heritage that affirms the Bible as the authoritative witness to the Word of God, the creeds of the ecumenical councils, and the confessions of the Reformation. The UCC has roots in the "covenantal" tradition—meaning there is no centralized authority or hierarchy that can impose any doctrine or form of worship on its members. Christ alone is Head of the church. We seek a balance between freedom of conscience and accountability to the apostolic faith. The UCC therefore receives the historic creeds and confessions of our ancestors as testimonies, but not tests of the faith. Linked on the right of this page are some of those testimonies. On the left, you'll find links to the Theology Page—a growing library of articles on theological issues that face the church—and the Theology Forum where you can discuss these issues with other members of the church. You can find this link here . By believing that Reformed creeds and confessions are just testimonies instead of what they were actually meant for, they have in essence made anything acceptable to them. Where do they get the idea that they are just testimonies <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" /> Tom
