My parents and I attended UCC until they divorced when I was 6. When I was 14, I got interested in Christianity and my high school had a Christian Fellowship group and I was too nervous to attend until a couple years lately. When I was 17, I started going to church and I've gone between the Wesleyan church and Baptist church.

This summer I decided to visit UCC and I love it!
I was just wondering if anyone else attends?

In the US, the UCC is the United Church of Christ, and it's a very liberal Protestant denomination. Is your UCC similar?

Same in the US. Our Congregationalist forebears gave the world the Salem witch trials. :wink:

I was baptized in the United Church of Canada. I haven't gone in years and consider all religion to be BS but if I was forced to attend one church it would be the one I would choose. They are generally open minded and very liberal and most of their members are excellent people who generally do good for goodness sake. I'm still puzzled though if most United Church members really read the Bible because they seem to have a (good) blind spot to the more nasty things such as slavery, oppression, etc.
