What is CUIC (pronounced "quick") and how did PUCC get to be part of it?

Since our founding as a congregation in 1990, Pilgrims' has welcomed and included all persons into every aspect of congregational life and work. We have, in fact, been open to and affirming of LGBT persons and persons in every other category of life. On Sunday, Nov. 2, 2008, at a special meeting, the congregation, by a vote of 63-3 formally adopted this statement:

Pilgrims’ United Church of Christ is an Open and Affirming Church that welcomes into full life, leadership, and fellowship all people of all races, genders, ages, sexual orientations, ethnic backgrounds, professions, and mental and physical abilities.

 This affirms Pilgrims' identity as an ONA church of the UCC. During a 2-year discernment period, numerous informational and study sessions were held. We were assisted by Rev. Dr. Hal McSwain, our ONA Consultant.
