The United Church of Christ (UCC) enjoys a rich ecclesial history and thought- provoking polity, both of which should be understood and appreciated by those seeking to serve in ordained or lay ministry within the denomination. Students taking this course will encounter the traditional "UCC origins" narrative, learn about the four constituent denominations and hidden histories that shaped the UCC and its ideals, and engage issues of Theology, Ecclesiology, Mission, Ecumenism, and Liturgy within the denomination. This course fulfills the UCC polity and history course requirement for ordination in the denomination. (Cluster 3)
