The United Church of Christ is the result of a 1959 merger between the Congregational Church (Puritan descendants) and the Evangelical and Reformed Church (German Evangelical and German Reformed, adherents to the Heidleberg Catechism).

It prides itself on being "inclusive" of everything and anything except those who would establish any boundary of faith and morals. Such persons, labeled "judgmental", are the only pariahs. The only Creed is that there is no real Creed, or, more precisely, so many statements of faith are used that almost any, or none at all, are perfectly acceptable. Another mantra is that "you can believe what you want to believe."

at 1.3 million, they're down about 30% in 30 years; bet it won't take another 30 to extinction.
