Churches Uniting in Christ

Churches Uniting in Christ (CUIC) is a national movement that seeks to live more intentionally together in Christian unity. One major goal of CUIC is to work together to combat racism.
 
CUIC is made up of ten member church bodies:

• The African Methodist Episcopal Church
• The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
• The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
• The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church
• The Episcopal Church
• The International Council of Community Churches
• The Presbyterian Church (USA)
• The United Church of Christ
• The United Methodist Church
• The Moravian Church Northern Province

The ELCA participates in CUIC as a Partner in Mission and Dialogue. This means that we participate in opportunities and efforts to combat racism, and take part in dialogue on ministry.  It does not mean that the ELCA is in full communion with all of the member churches of this group.  However, the ELCA does celebrate full communion relationships with five of the members of CUIC:

• The Presbyterian Church (USA)
• The Episcopal Church
• The United Church of Christ
• The Moravian Church - Northern Province
• The United Methodist Church
