Plan for uniting nine Protestant denominations
A 150 page plan proposes forming a single church uniting nine U.S. Protestant denominations with over 25 million members. The Church of Christ Uniting would name a Negro as first presiding bishop, ban racial discrimination, and stress lay involvement, openness to worship variety, and practical unity by the mid-1970s to 1989. The proposal goes to the 1969 Consultations on Church Union in St Louis for action and later final approval by the member denominations.
