Additional Information

The United Church of Christ (UCC) traces its history to the Congregational Church, whose history goes back to the Puritans. The UCC formed when the Evangelical and Reformed Church merged with the General Council of Congregational Christian Churches in 1957. The UCC has involved itself in traditionally liberal social justice issues including abortion access. They also formed the Council for Hispanic Ministries (CHM). The CHM works autonomously in concert with the UCC to be an ambassador for the faith, promote the interests of Hispanic and Latino people, and support international, intercultural, and interfaith dialogue.
