Constitution Draft Joins Congregational and Evangelical Reform Bodies
A proposed constitution for the United Church of Christ blends Congregational freedom with Evangelical & Reformed structure. Drafted by a 30 member committee led by Rev. Dr. Gerhard W. Grauer, it affirms local autonomy over property worship and pastors while shaping a national General Synod and interim executive council. The merger unites Congregational Christian Churches and the Evangelical & Reformed Church, involving over two million members and awaiting synod approval.
