The Point
"Biblical scholars note that it was the role of
the prophets to bear witness to painful truths.
Often they counseled that walls of false
security and comfort must be torn down in order
for true healing and restoration to take place
in the community. It was Jeremiah's unique and
difficult call to speak these unspeakable truths
in counsel with the king".

OurFaithOurVote.org site because we think it
sums up UCCtruths.com pretty well.
Generally speaking, the local churches of
the United Church of Christ do a tremendous and faithful job of
ministering to their members and community. However, over the last few
decades, the national offices of the United Church of Christ have
shifted away from the needs of the local church and have set on a
course of dishonest political activism that few in the
local church are aware of and, often unknowingly, contribute to.
The purpose of this site is to discern
what is truthful and factual and to challenge those in the national
office to be honest in their pronouncements. Most of the content on
this site references third party information sources.
This website is also intended to be a
central resource for links to current news items about the UCC.
This site does not represent any
particular theological or political belief - and is not affiliated in
any way with any interest group within the UCC.
The site is maintained by James Hutchins (james.hutchins@gmail.com)
in Cleveland, Ohio with input and tips from members of the message
boards. -September, 2003
