The United Church of Christ, the denomination whose Chicago pastor Jeremiah Wright blasted the United States and white people for years from the pulpit while Barack Obama sat in his pews, has decided to banish God "the Father" from its organizational documents.
A report from Eric Anderson on the denomination's website confirmed that delegates to the UCC's "General Synod 28" agreed late Monday to a series of proposed amendments to the constitution and bylaws. The vote was 613 in favor of the changes, 171 against and 10 abstaining.
The changes include a pointed deletion of a reference to God "as heavenly Father," which has been part of Christendom's description of the Trinity for millennia – the three persons of God being the heavenly Father, Christ the Son and Savior, and the Holy Ghost, the counselor and comforter.

I hope aren't seriously THAT ignorant of Catholic teachings. If you're looking for a denial of The Trinity, look to some of your Protestant buddies.
"the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God." In this Trinity of Persons the Son is begotten of the Father by an eternal generation, and the Holy Spirit proceeds by an eternal procession from the Father and the Son. Yet, notwithstanding this difference as to origin, the Persons are co-eternal and co-equal"
Don't you ever get tired of posting these lies and slanders?
(note to RM; I am do accusing dr. eckleburg of lying, only of being so seriously misinformed and hateful that she posts any untruth that she thinks harms the Church which too often involves gross and obvious failures to fact check)
They are all simply imitating Luther.
Luther was smarter than the Church he belonged to.
UCC was smarter than the Puritans.
Unitarians were smarter than the UCC.
And now UCC is smarter and more powerful than God the Father Almighty himself!
