Churches Uniting In Christ

The struggle for unity among the races and among the churches has a common denominator: racism.  To envision unity, without addressing racism, is to ignore our history in North America and deny the insidious nature of that which divides us.

Letter of Appeal (2002)

Churches Uniting in Christ is a relationship among eleven Christian communions that have pledged to live more closely together in expressing their unity in Christ and to combat racism together.

CUIC is both an outgrowth of and successor to the Consultation on Church Union (COCU), an organization that worked for more than 40 years toward the day when Christians can become more fully reconciled to each other.
