Dear Connectional Members and Friends,
-
-
Bishop Ronald M. Cunningham, the 53rd
Bishop of the
Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, was
elected president of
Churches
Uniting In Christ (CUIC) at their
meeting held January 18-20, 2011 in Fort
Lauderdale, FL. Although he was retired
at the 2010 General Conference, he
continues to serve the church in the
capacity of the Ecumenical Bishop.
-
-
Churches Uniting in Christ is a
relationship among ten 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.
-
-
CUIC is comprised of the
following denominational members:
-
-
African
Methodist Episcopal Church (AME)
-
Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
-
Christian Methodist Episcopal Church
(CME)
