Fun Facts about the United Church (borrowed from the United Church of Canada's website: http://www.united-church.ca)

The United Church of Canada prides itself on welcoming everyone the way Jesus did, regardless of age, race, class, gender, orientation, or physical ability. We believe the Spirit of God is at work in many different faith communities. We believe we strengthen one another to work, through God's grace, for a better world. To this end, we cooperate with other churches, faith traditions, and people of goodwill to eliminate poverty and protect those who are most vulnerable. The church works hard to appreciate people of all ages, from grandparents to newborns. We believe God intends loving relationships to be faithful, responsible, just, headling, and sustaining of the couple and those around them. These relationships may be between a woman and a man, or between people of the same gender. As a source of wisdom, personal prayer, and devotion, we believe the Bible can bring us closer to God. We often refer to a passage as "the Word of God." By this we mean the writer was inspired by God. [Some] of what was experienced and written then doesn't fit with today's world.  Communion is a symbolic meal that is open to everyone.
