I wrote this book out of necessity. As Director of the Lay Ministry Program of the New York Conference UCC, I frequently taught a course on United Church of Christ History and Polity to lay ministers and to ministers of other denominations interested in the UCC. What could I use for a textbook? To get a complete view of the history of the UCC and its antecedents, one needed to read five books: Louis H. Gunnemann's The Shaping of the United Church of Christ; John Von Rohr's The Shaping of American Congregationalism, 1620-1957; David Dunn's A History of the Evangelical and Reformed Church; and Barbara Brown Zikmund's two volumes of Hidden Histories of the United Church of Christ. It would be unreasonable for me to require students to buy five books for the first half of a 20-hour course. I needed to bring together the history of the United Church of Christ into one volume.
